Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com/)
-
Google Scholar searches for scholarly literature on the web, including "peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports..from a variety of academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories and universities." Google Scholar also analyzes and extracts citations from online documents, so your search results may include citations to older works that are not online. Results are ordered by relevancy. Often articles cited in Google Scholar results are available to UC Davis users through electronic journal and database subscriptions that the Library has licensed and paid for. To assist you in locating print and electronic versions of cited content, the University of California has arranged UC-eLinks in Google Scholar. After setting up UC-eLinks, click on the linked "UC-elinks" phrase, which will open a window from which you can get the full-text, check the library catalog to see if we own a book or journal, or Request an article we don't own.
