Google scholar is a great way to find information on my topic. It is way better than google and yahoo because those two search engines don’t give me good scholarly sources than google scholar. Google scholar is like the search engine for more precise information on topics that people really want to research. Normal Google sometimes gives you searches that have no relativity to your topic. While google scholar gives you more precise and factual information. The difficulties from a regular search engine and google scholar are different. In google scholar, there are articles that may seem to be good for you research topic, but you can get fooled by their topic. For example, if I see a link that I think would be good, but it then turns out to be not what I wanted or a book that you can’t read online for free. I think that is what is different in the search engines.
