Google and Google Scholar Search Guide

This guide provides instructions on how to effectively search Google and Google Scholar. Whereas Google searches public web content, Google Scholar searches across a wide range of academic material including peer-reviewed papers, academic books, theses and dissertation papers, conference papers, technical reports, and other scholarly literature. To navigate through this guide, select the tabs on the left-hand side for help with the following topics:

• Google – using advanced search operators or the advanced search page
• Google Scholar – using advanced search operators or the advanced search pop-up window; linking to the library (for St George's and NHS users); exporting and saving results

Are you looking for some extra help with referencing, literature searching, or finding and accessing healthcare information?
