Reference articles are good places to get an overview of a topic. (See this video if you'd like to learn more about what a reference article is and how it can help you).
For this project, OneSearch, which searches multiple databases and all of our books and ebooks, can help you find articles that you can use. To find reference articles, use the "resource type" filter on the left and select "Reference Resources".
PLEASE NOTE: this list is arranged A-Z. If you don't see the words "Reference Resources" you need to click on "show more" to see the whole list.
After you filter for reference sources, the results left will be reference resources.
Each result will show you the name of the article or chapter, the name of the publication it is from, the date, and other key information.
When you click on "available online", you will be presented with options for reading:
These show the databases where we have the article. You can click on ANY of them to get to your article.

Optional to choose specific newspapers to include or exclude: if you hover over the name of a newspaper, you will see two boxes next to each title. If you check the open boxes on the left side, that tells OneSearch to ONLY INCLUDE results from those titles.
If you check the red boxes with a line through them on the right side, that tells OneSearch to EXCLUDE results from those titles.
