Google Scholar

Google Scholar does have excellent material and some of it links back to universities and can be downloaded as Full Text articles.  However, it is limited in its ability to be narrowed down and that large amount of material can be time consuming to filter through.  Consider using Google Scholar to end your research instead of beginning your research.  It is good to become familiar with it since you will always have access to it, just be sure to watch your time.  Google Scholar

Google Domain Searches

Google can be searched by domains such as .gov, .edu, and .org.  This will help you to reduce some of your results and to make sure that you have scholarly material.  There are two important things to remember about .gov and .org sites.

  1.  Government sites (.gov) are massive and can require patience to locate the information that you need.  Expect a large number of clicks to locate your information.
  2. Organizational sites (.org) are going to reflect the perspective of the organization.  You may or may not agree with that perspective.  However, be sure to research the credentials of the creators and the organizations of those sites before using them.

To Search By Domain

  • Open Google
  • In the search box type in "site:domain search term" - Example: "site:.edu theology"
  • In this example, your URLs should end in .edu
