Finding scholarly content on the World Wide Web can be a challenge -- and time consuming. Here are several search tools that may help:
Google Scholar enables you to search specifically for scholarly literature, including peer-reviewed papers, patents, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports from all broad areas of research. Use Google Scholar to find articles from a wide variety of academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories and universities as well as scholarly articles available across the web. Please note that not everything on Google Scholar is “scholarly.” Washburn University users look for “Washburn Full Text Finder” for links to full-text when available.
