Remember that the search strategies you may have learned to use in library article databases may not necessarily work in Google Scholar. Likewise those library article database search strategies may not work with a basic Google search or an advanced Google search. Please see the following two links for Google Scholar and Google search tips.

When searching in article databases or finding articles online, sometimes it is challenging to determine which type of article you have found. Below is a link to a chart that provides an overview of the differences between scholarly journal, trade publication, and popular magazine articles:

An RSS feed reader will save you time as you strive to keep up with current events and publications.

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) allows you to "subscribe" to online content (such as websites, blogs, and news and business publications) via a feed reader.

Many different RSS feed readers are available, including readers that are part of your browser or email client, as well as readers that may be used with any browser or mobile device.

Feed Reader Tips:

• Set up feeds for an entire website, as well as distinct pages or sections.

• If you hit a "paywall" (the website asks you to pay for the full text) when trying to read an article brought to you by your feed reader, look up the publication via Summon or the Journal Locator to read the article for free.
