2. Click on the “Advanced Search” option under the OneSearch search blank.
       
3. Type in your topic and search.  
         
4. After you get (too many) results you can focus your search as follows:
   
   On the left-hand column of the results page try the following:
           
• Check the box labeled “Full Text (Online Only)"
      
• Adjust the “Publication Date” bar to a recent date range e.g. 2010 to 2014
      
• Change the “Limit to” to “Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals”
      
      
5. To get results click on the PDF, HTML, “View Full Text” or    link.

To focus your searches using OneSearch try the following commands:

Another powerful technique is to search for your topic (keywords) in the title of articles.  To do this change the dropdown menu in the AdvancedSearch from “Select a Field” to “TI Title”

For the following search example the phrase “problem based learning” must appear in the title of the article and the word math, mathematical, or mathematics must also appear in the abstract of the same article.

Be sure to limit the results to “Full Text” and “Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals.”
