  25. Read Your Result Page

  26. MyLibrary Record Click “Help” for more guides

  27. Google Scholar • http://scholar.google.com • Google Scholar allows you to search only the more "academic" / "scholarly" contents of Google – books, journal articles, conference papers, public domain research databases with options suited for academic purposes not offered in standard Google like: • Search by Article Title / Author / Journal Title • Limit by Publication Years / Subject Areas • Citation Searches, Related Articles • Linking to EdUHK Library-Subscribed Online Resources by EdLINK • Direct Export to RefWorks

  28. Google Scholar • To look for a specific article, simply enter the article title. If the article title is very general and it does not show up immediately, enclose the article title with double quotes(“”), add the author's name and / or journal title / publication year • E.g. Crisp, V. (2008). Exploring the nature of examiner thinking during the process of examination marking. Cambridge Journal of Education, 38(2), 247-264.

  29. If EdLINK@EdUHK is displayed, it indicates that full text to the article may be available through Library-subscribed databases.

  30. Google Scholar • If EdLINK@EdUHK.Primo is displayed, it indicates that full text to the article may be available through Library-subscribed databases. • Without EdLINK@EdUHK.Primo icon, you may still try searching the source title from the Library Catalogue to check whether we have a print version.

  31. By default, EdLINK is turned on if you are using Google Scholar from on-campus computers. From off-campus, follow the instruction to turn on EdLINK option via the settings of Google Scholar.

  32. Example: Click the EdLINK@EdUHK.Primo link to retrieve full text article

  33. Google Scholar • Of course, you can also use Google Scholar as a discovery tool and find relevant articles and books related to your research topic. Simply enter the key concepts of your topic with the more important keywords listed first and use double quotes for phrases: • E.g. "inclusive education" elementary schools hong kong • Quick limit options: • Include citations • Anytime / since …. (year)

  34. By default: Include citation & patents; anytime

  35. Include citations only; since 2016

  36. Set Preferences

  37. Choose to import the citation(s) to RefWorks, EndNote or others

  38. Import into RefWorks

  39. Cite option below each record

  40. Link to all other versions

  41. Google Scholar: Cited by and more Use ‘Cited by’ or ‘Related articles’ to explore more similar articles

  42. Advanced search

  43. Advanced Search Options in Google Scholar Where my words occur: • Anywhere in the article • In the title of the article

  44. Set Search Alert

  45. Google Scholar • Author search (author:) – use the surname and initial of the given name and / or Christian name • E.g. teacher education author:"lee jc" • Title search (allintitle:) – restrict the results to those with all of the query words in the document title • E.g. allintitle:"environmental education" effectiveness • Dates (year) – can be a specific year or a range of years • E.g. citizenship education year: 2012 – 2017

  46. Google Books

  47. But Google ≠ Everything There is no free lunch. Google is great but it doesn't own the Web – in particular the research materials and contents that it indexes; The Library already paid for a lot of e-journals, e-books, e-newspapers so that you can access free online – e.g. compare the Factiva and other free online newspapers; and our Britannica Image Quest So, if you only rely on Google, you are going to miss a lot.
