Google Scholar

With the Scholar service, Google has refined its search algorithm to identify on the free, public Internet "scholarly literature, including peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports from all broad areas of research." It has also developed a way to extract citations to books and articles from the bibliographies of the materials it indexes. These citations, while listed on Google Scholar result screens, do not link directly to additional information. Going further, Google Scholar provides access to content that was not available from the Google web search service before-information about articles, reports, and books stored on the web servers of scholarly commercial publishers. While in some cases Google has been permitted to display the full text of these scholarly commercial materials, in many more cases, only a description of the material is available. It is important to realize that the EMU Library might have already paid for and can provide access to the commercial material found in Google Scholar. And if we have not already paid for materials, the Library's Interlibrary Loan Service can probably acquire for you, at no cost, the full text of the items you desire.
