Scholar is a scholarly find.

In the world of academia, finding the right sources for research papers, masters thesis, and other such projects can surely be an intimidating task to say the least. While there is always the traditional route of paper-bound journals, magazines, newspapers, and leather-bound volumes, this is the world of tomorrow. In other words, the computer and electronic media reign supreme. So electronic sources have risen as the choice of many students, both young and old. But the Internet is full of poorly researched articles, and down right false articles as well. One cannot rely on Wikipedia as a credible source for a paper. And while some colleges and universities subscribe to various electronic data banks of scholarly material, what about distance learners and those without a great deal of time to get to a library on campus? This is where Goolge Scholar arrives to rescue.

Google Scholar is an electronic database, ran by Google, that allows users to search for reliable scholarly journal articles online, regardless of where the student is. The subject list is wide and varied. And seeign as these sources are peer reviewed, that ensures the validity and reliability of sources that are chosen for research projects. Definitely a valuable tool to students, or to teachers in serach of new material to enhance their already sizable bank of knowledge.

Google Scholar receives a full score of 4 out of four.
