Google Scholar Review



Google Scholar is a freely-accessible Web search engine that indexes the full text of scholarly literature across an array of publishing formats and disciplines. Released in beta in November 2004, the Google Scholar index includes most peer-reviewed online journals of Europe and America's largest scholarly publishers.
 It is similar in function to the freely-available Scirus from Elsevier, CiteSeerX, and getCITED.
In simple terms it is used for easy search of an article, journal or books. It could be very useful for Educational Purposes.

From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other web sites.
