ED 537: Research in Schools: More Tools: Google Scholar

Google Scholar can be a useful search tool, because you can search the full text of articles. Use it for these purposes:

• Locate articles when you feel stuck
• Identify a useful article, and bring it back to ERIC and Education Source to see how they describe it
  • You might find usable subject terms, to help you find similar articles.
• Bring an article to Google Scholar from Clark Library databases, to find newer articles that cite it.
  • Search within citing articles to make sure the newer articles are relevant.
