Big Box Approach
Google Scholar or the Library Search Box both search a huge numbers of resources in a multiplicity of disciplines (sometimes an overwhelming number)
- Library Search Box- Searches simultaneously for journal articles and books that the library owns
- The example in the box below shows a search for "progressive education" (put phrases in quotation marks). Click "see all" at the bottom of a column - on the next page you can narrow your search, including to peer-reviewed journals.
- Google Scholar This link opens in a new windowTo set up Google Scholar to detect UofC subscribed resources, refer to Google Scholar setup (in the Natural Sciences Programme LibGuide)A subset of Google that only indexes academic journals. Pros: searching is very easy - just like for regular Google. Covers journals in many disciplines. Cons: Limited functionality for filtering results. May include some journals of dubious quality.
