Go to Google Scholar.
What is Google Scholar?
Google Scholar is a search engine that lets you search for scholarly sources, including peer-reviewed articles, theses, books and technical reports. Some of these sources are available online for free, in which case Google Scholar links you to them.
Are all the resources scholarly?
No! Despite its name not all resources in Google Scholar are in fact "scholarly." As with any information source, it is important that you carefully review and critique your search results.
How does Google Scholar compare to a research database?
The library's research databases include thousands of books, journals, magazines and other sources that aren't freely available on the Web. It is important to remember that not all authors, scholars, etc. publish their research on the Web.
Research databases also allow you to sort and limit your results in a number of different ways - by author, title, subject, date, relevance, format, etc.
OPE电子竞技官网's research databases are available to current OPE电子竞技官网 students, faculty and staff at no cost.
