Library vs. Google

The Library

Library resources are carefully evaluated by librarians for things like credibility, relevance, and value.

Discover@MSU is the library’s version of a search engine; it simultaneously gathers results from most of MSU’s databases and MSU's book catalog.

Use Discover@MSU to:

Find articles in scholarly, peer-reviewed journals
Find articles in magazines and newspapers
Obtain full text of a specific article when you know its title
Find books and eBooks on your topic
Gather background information on a topic
Find streaming media on your topic
