There are several ways to locate articles that focus on a certain country or specific geographical region.

Library OneSearch

Using the basic search box, add the name of the country or region to the string of search words then select search.

Library OneSearch for Global Warming and China

When performing an advanced search, add ZG (which is a limiter for geographic location) and the name of the country or region to a separate search box. For example, ZG china.
