Google Advanced Search and Google Scholar

A definite perk to being a university student is the extensive access you have to library subscribed resources. When you enter the workplace, you’ll be relying on different information sources, and finding them in different ways – including Google.

Did you know you can tailor your Google search (opens in new tab) in similar ways to your Library Search?

Use Google Advanced Search (opens in new tab) to conduct complex searches, for example: find sites updated in the last 24 hours, or images that are in black and white only. Please note some features may only be accessible by creating a Google account.

Use Google Scholar (opens in new tab) to find scholarly literature including articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other web sites.

You can also get tips, tricks, and instructions to:

Refine web searches
