Google Scholar
• Retrieves material from scholarly journals…BUT – Questions as to what is covered and not covered – Relevancy and ranking issues– Currency
• Generally, does not retrieve articles from research databases and other fee-based services such as those to which UW subscribes
• Use, but with caution and for specific types of materials…– E.g., conference papers, technical reports, government
documents, white papers, etc.
Google, itself, is not the problem – it's what Google finds that can be a problem
