GEOL 108/BIOL 105: R. Hitz: Finding scholarly sources: Google Scholar

For 'Fossils and the history of life' cours

Google Scholar

Google Scholar Search

Google Scholar can also be a handy source for scholarly, peer-reviewed works. Note: Not every article that appears in a list of Google Scholar search results is available to you in full text form for free. Only those results that have a link to the right of the article are available in full text. See below.

If you find the perfect article via a Google Scholar search, but it is not available in full text, search for it in your TCC Library databases, and remember, your Library faculty are here to help you with that kind of thing!
