Google Scholar provides a way to search for scholarly literature. You can search for articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other websites, but sometimes the volume of results can be overwhelming and you may not be able to access the full text of the content you find.
