Did you know?

  • Google Scholar is a search engine that indexes the content of scholarly material published on the internet and in electronic books and journals.
  • Google Scholar does not index everything! It has made arrangements with a number of publishers to allow the Google spider robots to index the content of the publisher's books and journals. But not all publishers have agreed to allow Google access to their content — a great deal of scholarly literature is still only available through the various databases and web sites to which the Library subscribes.
  • We recommend that you use ECU WorldSearch and databases for thorough academic research.
