• Google Scholar only partially covers medicine. Search PubMed instead.
  
  
• RefWorks: Set Google Scholar to export citations directly into RefWorks.

Other resources to consider…

• The tools listed above are strongest in science and technology. Try Academic Search Elite or ProQuest for other disciplines.

• If you need science, technology or medical information, other databases on the E-Library page may be more useful:

  • Web of Science - science and technology

  • PubMed - medicine and health

  • Scopus -  medicine, science and technology
