I came across a really neat feature of Google Scholar a short while ago, it's going to save a lot of time and annoyance in the future. Normally when doing search of a broad topic I either went through the library journal database and through google searches etc. The problem with this method is that often you find a really great and useful article, but are for some reason unable to access it. This is for one of two reasons: Murdoch does not have access to it, or even when it says it does, it's either not subscribed to before a certain year... or for some unknown reason just doesn't want to work.
So, after many years of this, I've now found this great option. Basically, under google scholar select Murdoch University under Uni preference, doing this will allow your search to come up with only articles that are available through FindIt@Murdoch. Brilliant! I have a feeling this save me a lot of cursing and time. :)
