Wofford OneSearch is a single search platform that contains books, ebooks, journal articles, magazines, newspapers, audio, video, and reference materials. It is a great place to explore your topic and find scholarly resources, but it can sometimes be overwhelming due to the amount of information a normal search will pull up. Think of it like shopping on Amazon: you should tell OneSearch exactly what you're looking for using keywords and choosing the right limiters in the left column of your search results.
For example, a search for "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" retrieves 110 results. You can narrow your search by adding additional keywords or using the limiters in the left column.
One way to limit your sources to choose only scholarly, peer-reviewed articles. These are academic sources written by specialists. For this search, 22 of the results are scholarly articles.
For the crime novels in this class, you may need to broaden your search to find enough sources. Since our book was made into a movie, we can look for information about the movie adaptation, or we can search for articles that are about Stephen King's work in general.
