Using Google Scholar

Search Google Scholar

Google Scholar searches the same kind of articles, books, and other scholarly literature that you would find using the library's databases. It can be a great place to start your research and is useful for:

finding hundreds of relevant scholarly articles fast
discovering keywords that define your topic
helping a beginning researcher identify journal titles and authors connected with subjects of interest
finding "gray literature" like conference proceedings.

Keep in mind that while searching in Google Scholar is convenient and can be a great starting point, it's unlikely that you will have access to all of the results. Using OneSearch or individual databases means you'll have less to sift through and your results will be more likely to match your needs.
