The Library subscribes to a large number of journals, newspapers and other resources.  Not all journal articles are peer-reviewed, so you need to find a way to limit your results to peer-reviewed articles.

• Some databases (eg. Proquest) will let you click a 'peer-review only' checkbox before you start searching
• Search Everything and many other databases will let you limit to peer-reviewed articles once you have completed the search

You've found a great article, but how do you know if it is peer-reviewed?  By using a resource called Ulrich's International Periodical Directory, you can check to see if the journal that the article is from is peer-reviewed.

1. Go to Ulrich's International Periodical Directory
2. Enter the title of the journal (not the title of the article) in the search box
3. If an icon  appears by the journal title in the peer-reviewed column, then the title is peer-reviewed.
