Scholarly reasearch

Though I do appreciate the simplicity of using Google, it is difficult to find something that is relevant to my research topic which is why I am glad Professor Leonard introduced us to Google Scholar. That is one application that helps me narrow down articles that are actually relevant and useful towards my research paper. Trying to just search through Google with the word ‘plagiarism’ does not actually find anything that I can write 5-8 pages worth of information regarding it but it just defines the word plagiarism. Just using Google was not able to provide me with any scholarly articles that I could use for my research paper. But using Google Scholar helped me find relevant information in milliseconds. After reading, ‘Apple’s’ blog post, I was tempted to try out ERIC and to my surprise I found it pretty good but I actually prefer Google Scholar because of its simplicity.
