Keep Organized While Searching Google Scholar

Last week Google added a new Google Scholar option that allows students to create Google Play libraries of articles that they find through Google Scholar. 

To create a Google Scholar Library, sign into your Google account before searching on Scholar.Google.com, then just click "add to my library" when you find an article you want to save for future reference.

Your saved items appear in your Google Scholar Library where you can apply labels to them and sort them. Google will also generate citations and do related searches very easily.

While high school students can get by with sloppy search logic and terms on Google most of the time, better searches obviously produce better results in Google Scholar. Serious students will find that this is worth playing around with, though, because it's sophisticated and very satisfying for people who go deep when they research.

How to Search Google News for Historical Articles

Joyce Valenza created this tutorial on how to effectively search Google News for historical articles. The tutorial is great, but she used Tildee to create it. Tildee looks pretty good, but it slaps obnoxious ads on the end of the tutorial, and I am not a fan, though I do understand the need for revenue.
