The Google search box is the default search option for most users. It searches the web using Google's algorithms to find the most relevant results. Advanced search is a more specific search option that lets users narrow down their results by adding filters, such as date range, file type, or location.
Problems with your browser settings or extensions can interfere with the functioning of Google search. Clearing your browser Google Activity history and cache can help resolve these issues. Disabling conflicting browser extensions or updating your browser to the latest version can also improve performance.
Using Scholar in conjunction with the library's online databases is an effective strategy for accessing full-length articles. Students are able to configure Google Scholar to look for full-length articles from up to five libraries. Access to online databases is normally restricted to patrons of that library.
Unlike Google, Google Scholar easily allows you to explore related works, citations, authors, and publications. This can help you find even more relevant scholarly works. Although the results may not be the full text, Google Scholar can be linked through Western Libraries so you can access the complete document.
By logging into Google Scholar through the library's proxy server (as the link above directs you to do) your search results show a link to the full-text in our Online Library, when that is available. Even if an article is not available in our Online Library, you may find full-text for free online.
