Google Scholar identifies free scholarly literature & extracts citation lists. (Citation lists do not link to additional info.) Scholar provides info about articles/reports/books stored on servers of scholarly publishers. Rarely, Google is allowed to display full text, but usually has only a description. EMU may have already paid for & can provide access to material found in Scholar. If we have not, the library's Interlibrary Loan Service can probably acquire the full text, free.
