 * Things To Know!

It typically **does not** include book reviews, news articles, editorials, untitled documents, documents without authors, or articles from websites requiring a login.
 * Scholar automatically includes listings from Google Books.
 * Scholar **does not** index journals.
 * Scholar is not 100% full text!
 * Adding OLinks and RefWorks to your Google Scholar results
 * Click on Scholar Preferences. Under Library Links, search for OhioLINK. Make sure to select the tick box next to OhioLINK - Find it with OLinks (this will appear under the search box after clicking the Find Library button). Click Save.
 * To add a bibliography manager like RefWorks, click on Scholar Preferences. Under Bibliography Manager at the end of the page, select the second option to allow Scholar to show links to import citations into RefWorks. Use the drop down box to select RefWorks. Click Save.

 * Author searches are **most effective**.
