Part Three: Research and Argumentation 312 Google Scholar Because Google Scholar is a bit more intuitive than most library search engines, and because it draws from large databases, you might find it easier to use. Many of the results you turn up using Google Scholar are available online as free access PDFs. That said, Scholar will often bring up citations for books, articles, and other texts that you don’t have access to. Before you use Google Scholar, make sure you’re logged in to your school account in the same browser; the search engine should provide links to “Find it @ [your school]” if your institution subscribes to the appropriate database. If you find a citation, article preview, or other text via Google Scholar but can’t access it easily, you return to your library website and search for it directly. It’s possible that you have access to the text via a loaning program like ILLiad. Google Scholar will also let you limit your results by various constraints, making it easier to wade through many, many results. • Google Tricks That Will Change the Way You Search” by Jack Linshi • “Refine web searches” and “Filter your search results” from Google’s help section
