International Social Work year 1 - searching and finding reliable literature: Website -Google Scholar

Website (click on the image for direct access)

Can you find everything with Google?

No, you cannot find everything with Google...... A lot, but not all will be reliable or at bachelor level. From now on it is better if you only use Google for a first orientation. When you start looking for more in-depth and reliable literature, switch to Google Scholar (public scientific publications) and HANQuest. HANQuest is a search engine you can find on the website of the studycentres. It gives you access to paid databases that contain literature Google will not find for you. Go to www.han.nl/studycentres and discover all that reliable literature and much more.
