Google Scholar vs. CloudSource OA: A Side-by-Side Comparison

Google Scholar may be a go-to research tool for student researchers, faculty, and other members of the campus community, but its results—which often lack relevancy, full-text options, and peer-review designations—can leave users feeling frustrated.

CloudSource OA, our robust, easy-to-use discovery platform, provides faculty and students with credible information on any subject and one-click access to millions of OA and OER materials—no login or authentication required.

Join us for this free, 30-minute webinar to continue the side-by-side comparison of CloudSource OA and Google Scholar . . . and see who comes out on top.

Together, we will:

  • See how Google Scholar’s discovery experience stacks up against CloudSource OA’s.
  • Explore how access to information differs between platforms.
  • Look at crucial variances in the quality of Google Scholar and CloudSource OA’s research materials.
