Its purpose is "to search specifically for scholarly literature, including peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports from all broad areas of research." The full text of many items is available online (either freely or by using the "Find it @ WOU" link), although in some instances abstracts with links to pay-per-view document delivery services are displayed.

To do this on most campus printers:

1. Open the document you wish to print and select File >> Print.

2. Choose the printer you want to use (e.g. \\bart\Lab-HLRef)

3. Click on the "Properties" button.

4. Click on the "Finishing" tab at the top. On the Paper/Output tab, choose "2-sided print" in the box labeled "2-Sided Printing"

5. Check the "Print Both Sides" box.

5. Click "OK"

To print more than one page per side, use the pull-down menu below Pages Per Sheet. This will allow you to print several small pages per side on each sheet of paper!

Following these simple steps can save a massive amount of paper over time.

Google Scholar searches a specific subset of Google's index and covers a wide range of academic content areas. The coverage is strongest in science and technology and weakest in the humanities.

One particuluarly useful aspect of Google Scholar is the ability to easily find articles that have cited the one you are looking at. Look for the "Cited by" link to take advantage of this feature.

If you are off campus, you may want to use the access to Google Scholar provided by WOU's Articles and Databases page. This way, the "Find it @ WOU" links will show up and the content that WOU pays for on your behalf will be available to you.

Please keep in mind that since Google Scholar is a beta product, things keep changing. The content, coverage and functionality may be different from when you last used it.

WOU’s Library and Media Services has purchased access to ebrary’s Academic Complete collection, which contains the full-text of nearly 40,000 ebooks covering topics from the classics to the cutting edge.

You may search across the full-text of all ebrary ebooks, much like searching full text articles in JSTOR. Simply clicking on the title of a book allows instant viewing of documents in your browser, any time.
