Google Scholar should not be the only tool you rely on when researching for content available at Fordham University Libraries.

Please use additional tools including OneSearch, the library catalog, subject-specific databases, and tips on our Research Guides for best results. Ask a Librarian for help developing a search strategy or request a 1 on 1 research consultation with the library liaison working with your department or program.

Find the Advanced Search options through the menu in the top left corner.

Use the links for Cited by, Related articles, and versions to find more information.

For additional tips, schedule a research consultation with the library liaison working with your department or program.

Google Books is the index of full text books and magazines scanned by Google.

This index does not always provide a preview or the full text of an item.
Items in the index come from Google's Partner Program for publishers, the Library Project, and selected magazine publishers.

To access print books and e-books that Fordham owns, search the library catalog.
