Find Articles Using Google Scholar

• It lacks most of the search limiting functions of other article databases.
• Google does not make clear what sources it uses; in other words, there is no way to tell what journals it includes or excludes.
• Most importantly, the links may lead you to websites which will ask that you pay for the articles, even though in many cases, we may own the particular journal already. Before paying for an article you find via Google Scholar, you should always do a Periodical Title Search for it in ALICE to see if we own the volume.
• On-campus users should see either OhioLINK OLinks or Find it with OLinks for articles that may be available for free to Ohio University faculty and students.
• Off-campus users can use Google Scholar's Preferences to identify themselves as members of Ohio University and so get access to these articles.
