Intro to College research- Make finding reliable sources easy!

2. Research on the Web- Google Scholar
Why use this instead of google?
Removes the “fluffy” stuff- no buzzfeed, redit, wikipedia, blogs, USA Today, mainstream news reports, “fake” news, etc.
“related articles” links
If you log in you can created a database of articles and citations
Research on the Web- Google Scholar

3. Google Scholar What is still problematic about this as a search tool?
YOU need to distinguish between articles, reviews, books, abstracts, etc.
May not give you full access to full documents
Need to be very focused in your search terms to narrow down results

I recommend using Academic Search Complete and/or ERIC. Look for “full text” articles only. Define the publication time period (past 25 years? Or older?).
