Google Scholar: Using Google Scholar

This tutorial will walk you through how to use Google Scholar.

Google Scholar

Google Scholar provides a simple way to search for scholarly literature broadly. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts, and court opinions from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities, and other websites.

Google Scholar is a great tool for academic research. However, often times its articles are behind a paywall. Link your Google Scholar account with USU to get access to articles that USU subscribes to!

Review the interactive tutorial below for steps on how to syn your USU Library access and search within Google Scholar.
