Using Google Scholar
- Google Scholar This link opens in a new window Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. Search across a wide variety of disciplines and sources. Use LibKey Nomad to link to full text.
Google Scholar can be a great source to help you as you need to locate scholarly resources for your capstone project. If you connect to it from the link below, Google Scholar will act a little differently because it will know you're affiliated with Brockport.
Warning: You will find previous TESOL Capstone projects if you search Google Scholar. If you see soar.suny.edu under the author's name and then [PDF] suny.edu on the right side of the screen, this is a previous TESOL capstone. It is NOT a peer reviewed source. You can, however, use it to see which sources the author used in their Chapter 2.
