One easy way to get started is to use the Discover search on the library home page. Enter search terms related to your topic, then check off "Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals" on the results page, as show in the following image.
Another way is to choose a database that's relevant to your research topic. Use the drop-down Databases by Subject menu to get some starting points, or contact your librarians if you need some guidance.
Most of the library's databases include scholarly journal articles. There's often an indication whether an article is scholarly or peer-reviewed: It may be marked "Academic Journal," or indicated with an icon or other indicators. Most databases also have an option on the left-hand side to limit the results to only scholarly or peer reviewed journals, just like in the Discover search.
In some cases, you'll have to determine for yourself whether an article is a scholarly source, based on the journal in which it is published, or by looking at characteristics such as the bibliography, abstract, or other aspects of the article.
For more help, ask a librarian.
