| Google Scholar Searches scholarly literature from AnthroSource, Project Muse, JSTOR, publishers and academic websites. Also searches academic websites and full-text Google Print books. Connect via the Library's Database page to access full text material to which the University Library subscribes. Be aware that Google Scholar is not comprehensive and many publishers are not searched. Search results are ranked by various criteria including how often the work has been cited in other scholarly works. This means there is a bias towards older, heavily-cited, seminal works rather than the latest publications. Many full-text publishers are not searched by Google Scholar. |
||

This type of searching often locates relevant articles that cannot be retrieved through traditional subject/author searching.
