Start with Articles and More

Articles and More searches most of our 300+ databases at the same time. It's a broad, blunt search, but it gets the job done. You discover:

  • how much is out there – whether your topic is too broad or too narrow
  • more words and synonyms to include in  your search
  • hints and leads for more places to look

Articles and More searches articles, books, newspapers, media and streaming content available through our subscription databases, Ohio University and OhioLINK library catalogs, and beyond. It includes many items we do not own, though we may be able to get you a copy via InterLibrary Loan.

Use the Library Search to Find Materials through Ohio University, OhioLINK, and WorldCat

Starting at the main search bar on the University Libraries website, select which search you want to run from the drop-down menu.
