Keep this in mind...
Google Scholar is not perfect! It can be a good starting point for your research, we recommend that you do your research from our databases. Library databases offer you more precise search options, such as limiting to peer-reviewed publications, and provide subject-specific collections of scholarly published research. Google Scholar also will not show you all of the full text articles available in our databases, and will also return many articles that are not free to view.
If you need assistance with using our databases or starting your research, chat with a librarian or schedule an online meeting with us.
