Search settings can be changed on the results page.
To limit to just scholarly articles, select Peer-Reviewed Journals on the upper left of search results.
DiscoverUR Search Tips will help to get you started.

If the library doesn't have an article you want, request it via Interlibrary Loan. We'll get it for you, often in just a day or two. (Learn more about UR Interlibrary Loan in this YouTube video.)
