Get your search started
The library catalog can be a useful place to begin exploring a topic for secondary sources. Searching from the library catalog allows you to search all library databases in one search. You can limit your results to scholarly articles in the left column,.
- Google Scholar Enables you to search specifically for scholarly literature, including peer-reviewed papers, 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, preprint repositories and universities, as well as scholarly articles available across the web. You can also access publications to which the Libraries subscribe.
Google Scholar is also an excellent resource for scholarly articles. Especially useful are the "Works cited" and "Related articles" links under a useful article's description. These links can help you find more articles directly related to the scholarly conversation that interests you.
