Google is a great tool for a quick search to get some basic information. You can use it to find an organization’s web site, see when a movie is playing, find a recipe, etc. However, Google should not be used in place of the Library Databases for scholarly research:

• Search results differ for each person (results are based on your browsing history, geographic location and Google account information).
• Google gives priority to sites that have the most links from other sites. They are not based on specific subject keywords.
• There are too many results and you cannot sort them.
• The top results are often paid ads sponsored by a company.
• Results are usually not from a scholarly source. Many pages are not from a reliable (academic) source.
• It is possible that you may find a scholarly source (i.e. from Google Scholar), but it is unlikely that you will have free access to it.
