Google Scholar

Google Scholar is a web search engine that indexes scholarly articles, books, conference papers, and theses from various disciplines. It is a freely accessible platform that makes it easy to search for and access academic literature from numerous sources worldwide. Google Scholar provides researchers, students, and academics with a range of features, including citation tracking, related articles, and personal libraries. 

Google Scholar Library Links connect users with resources available through their institution's library, providing seamless access to full-text articles and other scholarly materials. By configuring these links, users can easily discover and access subscription-based content without navigating away from Google Scholar.
