Google Scholar is best at understanding the synonyms and context of your keywords. Once you link it to WMU's Library, you can see what articles are accessible through our library databases. It does not have many search filters so it is more difficult to sort through results than in Library Search and databases. This guide will help you link your Google Scholar account to WMU's library resources.
