How do I find articles using library databases?
Answer
Using OneSearch to Find Articles (and more)
You can use OneSearch to search all of York Library's databases at once, but there are other tools in OneSearch that can also help you manage your research. Use OneSearch to:
- Begin your research.
- Look for a combination of books, journal articles, and/or e-books, on a specific topic.
- Find a specific title of an article or a book, or a specific author.
- Match a citation to an article.
- Manage your library account.
