Resource of the week - Google Scholar

Each week the Trust Library service will be promoting a different product available for all members of staff.

This week it is Google Scholar which you can search at http://scholar.google.co.uk/

Google Scholar provides a basic way to broadly search for scholarly literature. You can search across many disciplines and sources: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles. If the full-text is freely available, it will appear next to your search results.

If you need to do a more advanced search, don't forget about the NHS databases, including Medline and Embase, available at http://www.evidence.nhs.uk (Athens account required). Any full-text journals which the NHS has paid for will appear in these databases.
