Finding Articles

Dragon OneSearch is the MSUM Library’s main search tool for finding articles, books, videos, and more—all in one place. Start from the library homepage and enter your keywords into the Dragon OneSearch box. You can refine your results using the filters on the left side of the screen, such as “Peer-Reviewed Journals,” “Full Text Online,” or by date range. Use quotation marks for exact phrases (for example, “inclusive education”) and add connectors like AND, OR, or NOT to focus your search. When you find an article you want, click the title for details and the Full Text Online link to read or download it. You can also sign in with your StarID to save items, export citations, or access your search history. The Very Short Introduction videos below will show more details on searching both in Dragon OneSearch and within databases.
