Google Scholar is a specialized search page where results are limited to scholarly sources - mostly books and articles, though a limiter to find case law instead of articles is available.

If there is free full text available on the internet, links will appear to the right of each search result.

If and when you don't see full text available, copy a result's entire title, put quotation marks around it, and run it as a 'phrase search' in the RamSearch search box. If we have it, it will come up a a result - either full text, or with an interlibrary loan request form already half-filled out for you.)

Other Features:

• On search results pages:
  • limit by date range
  • Have the search result include patents
  •  see a citation in several of the most oft-used styles
  • choose between sorting by 'relevance' or by date
  • see items Google has decided are 'related'
  • see who cited the result (obviously, if they cited it...their article may be on a similar topic)
• On the left, you can create a personal account and store results
• The result title are links leading you either to free full text online, or to a page where you can see info about the item, but where the site may charge money to read it.
• NEVER PAY FOR ARTICLES found online. Check the library for full text, by running the title as a phrase search in RamSearch. If we don't have it, interlibrary loan requests are FREE)
