Google Scholar Search

As a freely accessible web search engine, Google Scholar is an additional resource you can dig in for journal articles and other materials. A search box to use Google Scholar has been provided below, as well as a link to our Google Scholar guide, which will give you direction on gaining access to research articles from Lone Star College Library.

As well, there are predatory journals out there (with low publication standards) that Google doesn't disregard from its results.
