How do I find Research Starters?

Answer

OneSearch allows you to limit your search results to Research Starters, which are helpful overviews of topics with background information, definitions, and more. 

Depending on your topic, the Research Starter may be "pinned" at the top of the search (with a yellow lightbulb icon). If you don't see a Research Starter at the top of your results, you can limit your results by selecting the "Source Type" filter and then  "Research Starters"  (see image below).

Screenshot of the OneSearch tool with the keyword "monkeys" and the "research starters" selected from the content type filter.
