Google Scholar<\/h2>\n
Google Scholar <\/strong>is Google’s academic search engine that searches across scholarly literature. It has extensive coverage, retrieving information from\u00a0academic publishers,\u00a0professional organizations,\u00a0university repositories,\u00a0professional websites, and\u00a0government websites.<\/p>\nThe benefits of searching within Google Scholar are numerous, but a search solely using Google Scholar will be insufficient for your research. Consider the following benefits of Google Scholar and library databases.<\/p>\n

Like other Google search products, Google Scholar\u00a0starts with a basic search blank. Because researchers are more likely to need the results of more specific searches, the Advanced Search link is accessed via a down-arrow in the search blank.<\/p>\n ![\"Screenshot](\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/courses-images\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/107\/2016\/06\/23193534\/googlescholar.jpg\") <\/p>\n Google Scholar Advanced Search.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Keep in mind that Google is not transparent about the journals or time ranges it indexes, and publishers occasionally request that Google Scholar not index their publications. Non-scholarly and\/or non-peer reviewed material may also appear in Google Scholar, so it is best used in conjunction with other search tools. One of the greatest features of Google Scholar is the “Cited by” link found below each search result. If you find one article you like, you can click on the link to find other articles that reference that same work.<\/p>\n Lenore’s Story: Beginning a Search for Relevant Sources<\/span><\/h1>\nTake a look at this video which discusses tips for Google searches—and their limitations.<\/p>\n | | | |
