Academic research via "googling!" Google Scholar provides a simple way to search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other web sites. Some articles you find will not be accessible for free; however, it is worth searching because there are many free academic articles and ebooks available.
The MOBIUS catalog allows you to search over 27 million items! When you find an item you could use, just request that the item be sent to the Camden County Library Branch. You must have a Camden County library card to request an item.
