Google Scholar allows you to search specifically for scholarly material on the web.
However, it's important to be aware that Google Scholar searches both peer reviewed and non-peer reviewed information, as well as requiring you to pay for some articles.
Many of the Google Scholar results are available through our library subscription databases.
You can setup Google Scholar to display articles which are available free in the TAFE NSW library databases.
Follow the instructions below to link Google Scholar to TAFE NSW libraries. Ask a Librarian for assistance - its what we do best!
