Library Search is the Library's Google-like search tool. The difference is that Library Search only searches the Library's collection. If your research topic is interdisciplinary (meaning your topic is not only related to health informatics but other areas as well) this can be a good place to start your research, and it will instantly give you a sense of what the library has on your topic.
Some advantages of Library Search over Google Scholar:
- Summon provides easy access to a massive amount of print and digital information provided specifically in support of teaching and research at UVic
- Search results include books and ebooks from the UVic collection, as well as journal articles, newspaper articles, conference proceedings, dissertations, and more
- Search results can be limited to scholarly or peer-reviewed sources with one click
- Citations in your search results can be viewed in six commonly used citation formats (APA, AMA, MLA, Chicago, Vancouver Style), exported to citation managers, emailed, and printed
