Google Scholar searches academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other web sites. Be aware that some of the results that Google Scholar returns will not be peer-reviewed journal articles. For information about configuring Google Scholar for off-campus use, click the green question mark.

In addition to searching academic resources available online, Google Scholar can also connect you with subscription-only resources available through the VCSU Library. If you're using Google Scholar on campus, it will include VCSU Library links automatically. To set up Google Scholar for off campus use, continue to the next page.
