Google Scholar This link opens in a new window
This search engine points toward scholarly research rather than all Web-based sources. It is stronger in the sciences than in the humanities, with social sciences somewhere in between. One interesting feature of Google Scholar is that in includes a link to sources that cite a particular item. Not all of the articles in Google Scholar are free; the library can obtain many of them for you through Interlibrary loan.

CHE 102: Chemistry of Cooking

Research is an adventure. It's open-ended, exploratory, surprising, frustrating, and full of blind alleys and interesting side trips. It doesn't have to be lonely. Compare notes with your classmates, chat with your instructor, and take advantage of the friendly people sitting at the Library's Research Help desk. We love to help you find what you're looking for.

This guide is a starting point; don't hesitate to ask a librarian for further assistance.
