Google Scholar has got it. You can easily search, get ranked results, and go to the full text of articles and other writings.  But, if you are doing a literature review for your dissertation, starting a new research project, or need to find older or hard-to-find references, you will benefit by using the Web of Science and its related databases, and Scopus. Come to this session to learn how to do a deeper search for scholarly literature, take advantage of citation searching, and use journal ranking tools.  We will have some time to work with your specific topics.
