E.g. Crisp, V. (2008). Exploring the nature of examiner thinking during the process of examination marking. Cambridge Journal of Education, 38(2),

46. Google Books

48. But Google ≠ Everything
There is no free lunch. Google is great but it doesn't own the Web – in particular the research materials and contents that it indexes;
The Library already paid for a lot of e-journals, e-books, e-newspapers so that you can access free online – e.g. compare the Factiva and other free online newspapers; and our Britannica Image Quest
So, if you only rely on Google, you are going to miss a lot.
