The most important results from a Google search, however, are those you DO NOT SEE. There are no full text articles in scholarly journals or books by reputable publishers in this search. Considering that you have access to full text scholarly articles through GALILEO http://galileo.usg.edu and to book holdings at GIL https://gil.gpc.edu, is Google really the best source to use for most term papers and research projects?
