Google Scholar
 

Google Scholar Search

Google Scholar provides a simple way to search across many disciplines to find relevant scholarly research. Availability of full text documents is indicated by a link that appears to the right of a search result. Use the tools menu  to find an Advanced Search page that helps you set up a search that will produce fewer and more focused results. The Searching Google Scholar page contains links to helpful tips for using Scholar and Advanced Search.
