Note: Follow these instructions to link Google Scholar with Temple's resources.
Google Scholar provides search for scholarly literature. It covers disciplines and sources: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations.
Academic Search Complete provides full text scholarly publications and full text journals for academic areas of study.
Research databases index, describe, and add subject terms to articles-- all of which makes it easier to find relevant material. Look for Subject Terms or Descriptors in the database records, which you can click on or search for to narrow your search to articles primarily on your topic.
Search engines like Google Scholar don't have subject terms or descriptors added to records, but they do search full-text, so an unusual word might work to focus a search.
