• government documents
• digitized primary sources from museums, historical societies, and other cultural institutions
• annual reports and white papers from corporations, non-profit organizations and NGOs
• and more.Beyond what you can find using general search engines, like Google, there is Google Scholar, which searches:

• books
• scholarly articles
• conference papers
• case law
• U.S. patents (if you choose to include them)

if you access Google Scholar through the library’s Article Databases page, you will be able to sign in and find links to full-text articles found in your Google Scholar search results via library databases.Because the Web is vast and unmonitored in terms of quality, it is important to learn how to use Web search engines to their fullest potential.Use Google Scholar to locate a scholarly journal article entitled,
