Week Ten Assignment
Searching in Google Scholar
- What search terms or search phrases did you use to search Google Scholar?
- What limiters did you use?
Limiters used:
dates from 2010-2019, include patents, include citations, and FindIt@WSU, WSU
Full-text, Washington State University – ProQuest Fulltext
- What did you find here that you have not seen in the databases?
I
didn’t see many differences from the databases. However, I liked that using
Google Scholar brought more articles related to my topic than the databases.
- How did this search process compare with the library databases you have been using? Was it easier or more difficult?
I would say it was
way easier and what I really liked is that I am able to use the limiter to be
able to find it through our school library. Also, I will have access to some of
this articles by saving them in my Google account.
- How might you use this tool in the future?
This tool will be
very helpful and handy when needed. I will be able to make connections through
whatever institution I’m in.
Good work. The Library link to FindIt @ WSU is not a "limiter". The limiters are filters, such as a date range, that limit your results by a certain criteria. Normally I wouldn't check the box to "include patents" since those results are rarely relevant to academic research unless you are interested in inventing a new product.
