Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature.

Most of the Article Databases at Ryan Library have an easy way for you to locate "Peer-Reviewed" articles.

Here's what you do:

1. Go to the Advanced Search of whatever database you are using.
2. In the search boxes, put in keywords relating to your topic.
3. There should be a box that says something like "Peer-Reviewed" or "Scholarly."  Check that box.

The results should be articles on your topic that are from peer-reviewed sources.

You may request articles that are not available at Ryan Library from other libraries.
