GOOGLE VS. DATABASES

Google & Google Scholar are useful, but library databases are consistently more reliable and efficient.

Why?

Databases are more likely to contain the full text of articles.
- If you find an article through Google, you will most likely be asked to pay for it
Databases have advanced search features.
- You can choose to search only for scholarly sources
- You can limit your search to a specific time period, author, publication, or subject terms
Databases are either discipline-specific or multidisciplinary.
- For example, if you're searching for articles about economics & finance, you can search in specialized databases for that subject area. Or, you can search in a database that covers many different academic subjects, from engineering to science to history to business.
