Google Scholar is one of APU\/UAA Consortium Library’s “Featured” databases. Access to it can be found on our A-Z Databases<\/a> page. Accessing Google Scholar this way allows for the results of your query to showcase what we as an institution have access to versus directing you to paywalls that are not part of the library’s collection.<\/p>\n If you are familiar with our QuickSearch<\/a> option to research, and have experience using Boolean Operators<\/a> to search, it is important to note that Google Scholar does not use all the Boolean operators the same as other databases would. Below is a chart that shows some of the differences and similarities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
