Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search across scholarly literature. It has limited options for refining searches, but offers a citation count for many articles and sample citation formats. Cut and paste article titles you find into Catalyst to get beyond the paywalls.

Google Advanced Search allows you to do complex searches. For example, you can use a filter to limit your results to a specific web domain such as .edu, .org, or .gov.
