Should I use Google Scholar?

Google Scholar is an ok tool for research but you'll get better results in less time if you learn how use advanced databases (like those linked on this page). They're not that hard to use and as long as the database is a good match for your topic, you should get better results.

Scholarly Databases

While you can go to the individual journals to find information about your topic, it's much more efficient to search an article database for your topic.

Deciding which database to use depends on what you are trying to accomplish.  For basic information you can start with a General database. If you need more in-depth information try using one of the subject databases.
