Google Tools
Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search across scholarly literature. It has limited options for refining searches, but does offer a citation count for many articles. It also provides sample citation formats in multiple styles.
Google Advanced Search allows you to do complex searches. For example, you can find sites in German that were updated in the last 24 hours or use filters to limit your results to a specific web domain such as .edu, .org, or .gov.
