18Google Scholar

I've always liked Google Scholar, but up until recently I haven't found it particularly helpful for finding law review articles.  Until today.  I just noticed that Google Scholar now searches HeinOnline, which has one of the largest online collection of law review articles.  I can't tell how much of HeinOnline is being searched by Google Scholar.

Google Scholar is different from Google because it searches only databases that have scholarly content and aren't searchable by Google as they aren't part of the free web.  Google Scholar doesn't provide access to the full-text of these articles (your library does that), but it is an quick and easy way to search multiple databases at one time. 

Georgetown students should be sure to set their Scholar Preferences  so that you'll have access to all of the databases that the Library purchases (including HeinOnline).  (To do so, search for Georgetown Law in the Library Links search box).
