 Google Searching Tips
 

• Remember to use "quotation marks" around phrases to restrict your search to more relevant materials
• Use the site: search feature to find quality information quickly 

Type site:  plus the site domain you want to search and then your keywords

• Works for government, organisations, parliament and more 

So, if you want to find out about employability for graduates try:

• site:parliament.uk graduates skills gap
• site:gov.uk graduates employability universities 
• site:org.uk "graduate skills" employability

It really works!! 

 Google Scholar Search Tips
 

Google Scholar is a search engine that allows you to search for more academic content on the web.  You can use it to track down journal articles, book details and more.  You can set it up to show you which results you can access via a Solent University library subscription.
 

Link to full text content from Solent University Library
This will tell you if the Library has a copy of the article for you to read or not.  To set this up on your device:

• In Scholar, click on the menu icon in the top left corner:  
• Select Settings and then select 'Library Links'.  Enter 'Solent' in the search box then select Southampton Solent University - Full text @ SSU and Save. 
• Any results available via Solent will now show the 'Full text @ SSU' link to give you access: ​​
• OFF CAMPUS: You must check the access information for each article via the Full Text @ SSU screens and login to view. 
   

Send reference details to RefWorks

Set up a link to 'Import into RefWorks' for each result in your list.  To set this up, go into the  menu icon, select Settings and in the 'Bibliography Manager' section, select RefWorks and save.
 

Basic and Advanced search
