As those of you who are in or finished uni know, reading journals and academic publications is a great way to get more in depth for a particular area, even helping you get that 2.1 or first. But that usually involved going to the main library and typing in some keywords in an ancient computer, and then squinting just to look at the results on the blue screen.

Well, not anymore, with Google Scholar!!!!

It's not just journals though. It gathers all the reading amterial for your subject from different unis, so if our notes on say, neural networks are rubbish then we can go to alternatives.

hmmmm, thats a bit useless seeing as you cant access any of the journals.

I can access journals from home via my uni website.

Oh, it tells you book names? thats it?

I typed "karl marx" and it just gave like, lists of stuff.

It's Google, but for academic publications. Yes?

I dont get it.

Hm, that could have come in handy when I was at uni.
