Google Scholar

Google Scholar allows you to search the internet for scholarly publications.  These can include: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations.  While Google Scholar does link to some articles that are available online in full text for free it also allows you to find out if the full text of the article is available through the USF Library databases.
