Google Universe

I decided to take a look at Google Scholar and Blogs.

I tried a couple of searches in Google Scholar and didn't see anything that would make me try it instead of our online databases when doing reference work. Doing a simple search for "global warming" in both Ebsco and Google Scholar, I could find many more full-text articles in Ebsco than in Google Scholar. I also tried L.M. Montgomery and seemed to come up with either books, citation or unrelated articles in Google Scholar. As well, I find the Advanced Search options more useful in Ebsco. I might try Google Scholar as a last resort, but it certainly wouldn't be my first choice.

Using the Blogs search to look for travel blogs was much more rewarding. I think that this is a sight that I could use to take a look at what other people are writing about in their travel blogs as a good way to get ideas for the CPL Travel Talk blog. Very interesting!
