This workshop will elaborate on the difference between searching in Google Scholar and academic databases, demonstrate how to use Google Scholar’s Advanced Search, explain how to get to connect your library access to Google Scholar, and cover some of the other more sophisticated features Google Scholar offers to support your research.
