Google Scholar and UT Library Subscriptions - A great partnership

Google Scholar and UT library subscriptions together are useful in locating information complement each other in locating information.

UT fee based databases - free to UT affiliates

Most UToledo fee based database and e-books are free to UToledo affiliates on as well as off campus. UToledo based resources usually locate articles and books quicker than GoogleScholar. However at times GoogleScholar will have an item that a UToledo database does not. However, many books through Google scholar are not full text. 
Searching both GoogleScholar as well as UToledo resources may often yield a more complete set of results than either one alone. 

Almost all UToledo linked databases may be found through the All Databases link at the Mulford Library home page. These databases include articles and books.
