Well... I don't use PsycINFO either. Almost never. And after a year or two of using Scholar Google I started instructing my students to as well (this is for an upper level Cognition class where the students' final paper is a ~12 page review and proposal of some topic in cognition - "cognitive implications of X"). There are lots of ways of researching a topic and I describe all of them to my students, but scholar google is, IMHO, a great starting place. This was heresy in my department ~4 years ago, but I think most have come around to at least accepting it as ok. Patrick Patrick O.

>>> Sally Walters <[email protected]> 6/2/2010 2:54 PM >>> I never use Google Scholar but my students often do, even after I advise them to use PsycINFO. Can anyone point me towards any analyses of the differences between them for students? My sense is that GS is not as good but I'd love to show them something concrete. I will create something myself if nothing exists already but am hoping not to have to. thanks, Sally Walters Capilano U --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
