Q. I'm taking a Criminal Justice class. I need articles about how people can use psychology in this field.

A really great place to start is OneSearch. OneSearch searches almost all our databases simultaneously, so you don't have to know which database is best ahead of time, while still being able to find articles, streaming media, books, eBooks and more. It's also the best strategy for hard to find topics. 

Once you've done a search you can save time by using options on the right side of the screen

1. You can use the OneSearch pull down menu to re-run your search restricting to online only resources, library catalog or articles.
2. Use Sort By to re order your result list by: Relevance, Date-newest, Date-oldest, Author or Title.
3. Use Availability to limit to Peer-reviewed journals, Full Text Online or Available in the Library
4. Use Source Type to limit to things like Articles, Books, eBooks, newspapers and more. This will vary depending on your search.
5. Use Date to limit results to a date range.
6. Use Subject to narrow down your topic. This will vary depending on your search.

FYI, once you click on a resource from one of our providers, you'll need to login with your COM account for off campus access when prompted.
