College of Education and Human Development: Google Scholar

Google Scholar, http://scholar.google.com, is a subset of Google that is designed to search for academic and scholarly articles, patents and legal documents, and books online. Google Scholar uses its own criteria to consider whether a publication is scholarly. This may not be the same criteria used by your instructor so always evaluate the sources before you use them!

1. Go to Google Scholar, http://scholar.google.com ; Click the menu bars at top left.

3. Click Library Links,
