Intro to Google Scholar
Google Scholar is a search engine that limits searches to scholarly articles, books, and documents. It uses the same search technology as Google but focuses only on academic sources. When searching on campus, it links directly to the university library's resources to allow access to full-text articles. When searching off campus, users must set up Scholar Settings on their personal computer to enable linking back to library databases for full-text access to articles, otherwise they will only see search results without knowing if the full-text is available through the university.
Presentation google scholar
Google Scholar is a search engine designed for scholarly literature that produces search results pages.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Searching the web effectively f09
- 1. EDT 251 October 22, 2009
- 2. Where do you go? Are you happy with the results? Whatdo you think makes the searching experience work well?
- 3. Google – 65% Yahoo! – 19% Bing – 9% Ask.com – 2% and Ask Kids Ixquick Clusty Librarians’ Internet Index Google Directory http://infopeople.org/search/chart.html
- 4. Searchengines use software (“robots” or “spiders”) to index some amount of Web pages • Proprietary algorithms • Google claims over a trillion URLs searched • Paid placement of ads provides revenue • Currency – how frequently do they add sites? Other tools add human-collected or human- submitted sites (Google and Yahoo directories) • These are then searched by subject or keyword • Tend to be smaller in size Relevance ranking of results
- 5. AKA the “Deep Web” Resourcesthat are not indexed by search engines (such as library databases) InfoMINE– indexes free-standing databases Add term “database” to your topic in Google or Yahoo
- 6. Scholarly information subset of Google: http://scholar.google.com Many journal articles included on publisher’s web sites Set up “Scholar Preferences” Library Links enter “OhioLINK” and click to check the box Look for “Find it with OLinks” or “OhioLINK OLinks” links in results
- 7. Online encyclopedia of over 3 million articles Built using a wiki – allows for multiple contributors How does it work? What are the cautions?
- 8. 1. Identify the important concepts 2. Choose keywords 3. Pick synonyms and related terms 4. Think about using quotes, truncation, Boolean 5. Choose a search engine 6. Read the instructions (most rules are the same, but not all) 7. Enter your search expression 8. Evaluate the results 9. Modify/narrow your search (if needed) 10. Move to a new search engine (if needed)
- 9. Crucial because of fluidity/lack of standards Some possible criteria for any source: • Who wrote or created the source? • What audience was the source written for? • Where did you (or can you) find the source? • When was the source written or created? • Why was the source written? • How can you verify the information contained in the source? Look carefully at URL (.com, .edu, etc.)
