Google Scholar Basics

This week we’re running webinars on two different topics: Google Scholar and Business Research. We were a bit surprised to see the Google Scholar webinars fill up so fast!

If you wanted to attend the webinar, but couldn’t register for one this week, you have another chance:

There will be another Google Scholar webinar on Thursday, Feb. 2.

If that time still won’t work for you, you do have several other options.

• Watch an archived version on our Webinar Archives page.
• See the PowerPoint from the webinar.
• Access our Google Scholar guide.

Google Scholar looks a lot like the regular Google search. It’s pretty easy to do that first search in Google Scholar, but there are some unique qualities to Google Scholar that aren’t obvious at first glance. The webinar and guide above cover some of the major uses of Google Scholar, and how to access the full text of the items you find.

If you haven’t taken a look at our existing webinars or guides, now is a great time to check them out.

Our webinar archive includes all of the webinars we’ve done, on topics ranging from an Introduction to the Library to Tips for the Literature Review.

Our guides cover a similar breadth of topics. They’re always available, and we’re adding more each week.

If you have a question that is still unanswered, go ahead and Ask a Librarian. We’re happy to answer your questions about searching in the library and beyond.
