The Discovery Search box on the library home page is a great place to begin your OSH research:
The databases listed here are good starting points for finding articles on occupational safety and health topics.
For a complete list of databases and their descriptions, click the Databases link located on the CSU Library homepage.
Peer-reviewed articles, sometimes called scholarly or academic articles, are research studies or critical overviews of industry topics that are written by subject experts and reviewed by other experts in the field before publication in order to ensure the articles' quality.
See this guide for more information about identifying peer-reviewed articles and how to find them in the CSU Library.
The best way to search the library databases is to try out different combinations of key words/short phrases.
Phrase searching is one technique you can use to refine your search. To phrase search, place phrases inside quotation marks or parentheses. This tells the database to search the phrase as a unit instead of a string of keywords.
Example:
"safety management"
(safety management)
If the article is available in full-text in the database you are searching, in general, it will then be downloadable as a PDF or will open on your screen in HTML when you click on the link on the results page. When you click on the article title, all the choices to download and email it are there. In some cases articles are only available in read only format, and not able to be downloaded.
