Knowledge Management in Research 4: The Scholarly Internet: Google
Scholar and Google Book (RESKMAN4)
Friday 4 April from Thursday 3 April from 9:15am till 1pm in CL IIMS5
Description
Among the new products launched by Google over the past two years are
two that are almost too hot to handle - Google Scholar and Google Books.
Researchers who haven't already tried searching for information through
Google Scholar will probably want to know what it does for them that
conventional databases and ordinary Google searches don't. Those who are
already using it will want to know how to get full value out of their
searches and should also understand its limitations.

Google Books will find search terms from within the text of literally
hundreds of thousands of books, allowing researchers to scan them before
they decide to get hold of a copy. This session will enable attendees to
extend the scope of their document gathering and to save themselves
valuable time through the use of these novel information products.

Learning Outcomes
On completion of this seminar, you will have:

an understanding of Google Scholar: what it is and what it does 
knowledge of how Google Scholar compares with conventional information
sources 
practical hands-on experience searching Google Scholar 
experience of linking information to documents 
an understanding of Google Books: what it is and what it does 
practical hands-on experience searching Google Books 
knowledge of the limitations of Google products
