Search Google Scholar

NOTE:  Often, Google Scholar will only provide a citation, abstract, or summary of an article for free.  If you find an article that you would like to use, but are unable to access it through Google, contact a librarian at library@mitchellcc.edu.  The article may be available in a database to which Mitchell Community College Library subscribes.

Before using information found on a web page for your research project, use the CRAAP Test to evaluate its credibility.
