In Google Scholar you can find books (and journal articles) closely related to the book you have in hand by seeing what other books have cited a particular book.

1. Log into Google Scholar and type in the title of your book. Depending on the ambiguity of your title, you may also want to include the author's name in your search.
2. Click on the link to "Cited by xxx" to view the works that have cited your book.

Google Scholar is not a full text database; it will provide a link to the full text only if it is freely available on the web. Otherwise, Google Scholar may lead you to sites that ask you to sign in or purchase specific articles.

You can set up Google Scholar so that it links into the databases available at Knox. To set up Google Scholar to link with Knox's resources, follow these steps:

4. Select the box for "Knox College - Find It-Knox College."
