Google Scholar provides a searchable database of scholarly literature across academic disciplines. It uses a familiar interface similar to Google but focuses only on peer-reviewed publications. While free to use, Google Scholar does not include all available scholarly content and has limitations like an inability to search by publication date. The document provides tips for effective searching on Google Scholar, including developing relevant search terms and techniques for refining search results. Users are advised that libraries can often access additional scholarly resources not found on Google Scholar alone.

This document provides guidance on conducting research for an annotated bibliography. It discusses developing a research strategy, using keywords and Boolean logic to search library databases and catalogs, evaluating internet sources, managing citations with RefWorks, and using interlibrary loan if needed. The presentation aids students in constructing an effective research plan to find relevant resources for their annotated bibliography and develop a strong thesis. It emphasizes starting with broad background searches before narrowing the topic, and highlights specific library databases and tools available.
Using search tools
This tutorial teaches students how to effectively search for information from various sources to write research papers. It covers how to formulate search statements using keywords and Boolean operators to search tools like the library catalog, databases, and the internet. Students will learn search techniques like phrase searching, truncation, and field searching to maximize relevant results. The goal is to equip students with the skills to find, evaluate, and apply information from different sources for their academic work.
Scholarly articles
Extended essays require the use of scholarly articles, which are written by researchers or experts in their field. Scholarly articles are based on original research and experimentation, and build on previous ideas and discoveries by properly citing other research through references. Using scholarly sources is important for research papers because it allows students to contribute to the ongoing creation of new knowledge in a field by building upon and properly crediting previous work. The document provides information on finding scholarly articles through databases like EBSCO, Google Scholar, and a federated search of the KAUST University library, as well as open access journals. It encourages students to search these resources to find at least two scholarly articles to use in their own research.

Using Google Scholar
- 1. Just It!
- 2. About Google Scholar Google Scholar provides a familiar, user-friendly interface to conduct cross-discipline searches for scholarly literature. Source: http://scholar.google.com/intl/en-US/scholar/about.html
- 3. Scholarly vs. Popular Resources What’s the Difference?...
- 4. Scholarly vs. Popular Scholarly • Lengthy articles • Fewer graphics • Use technical language • Give references • Written by subject experts Popular • Shorter articles • Lots of images • Uses simple vocabulary • References are rare • Written by journalists
- 5. Why Google Scholar? Uses a familiar interface Free (some minor exceptions) and can be accessed from anywhere Can link to your library’s subscription databases More reliable results than Google or Wikipedia Search across multiple disciplines simultaneously Uses natural language
- 6. Beginning Your Search Define your search terms What are search terms and why are they needed?
- 7. Formulating your search Combine terms with “AND” in the basic search or use the Advanced Search feature. Google Scholar is less picky than databases, but why start bad habits now. Test different search terms, and keep track of the ones you have tested.
- 8. Example Search… Search terms: Immigrants Migrants Refugees Children Kids Youth Juveniles Adolescents Citizenship Citizens Residents Should undocumented children be granted citizenship?
- 9. Practice Makes Perfect… Topic: Does capital punishment reduce violent crime? Think about what search terms you might use for this topic
- 10. Don’t Stop at Google Scholar… Google Scholar doesn’t have all the answers??? Well, in short No! Disadvantages of Google Scholar include: Difficulty narrowing down results No option to search by full title Defaults to sort by relevancy rather than publication date
- 11. Things You Should Know Now… Why you might use Google Scholar How to link Google Scholar to your library’s databases Ways to brainstorm search terms Executing and refining your search
- 12. Need More Help Searching? You can: • Ask-A-Librarian • Text-A-Librarian • Call the library at: 982-5363 or 982-5364
