Line 28: *[[User:Syced/Wikipedia Reference Search]] provides a [[Google Custom Search]] that can be used to efficiently find sources on certain websites that some Wikipedia editors have determined are generally reliable, overall. Some hits (such as opinion pages) may not necessarily comply with [[WP:RS]], so judgment is still needed. Because this search only includes returns from a pre-determined list of candidates it could miss many others possible sources. Nonetheless, this tool can sometimes be a good starting point. Several [[academic search engines\|general search engines]] exist for more academic material, particularly scholarly articles, although some content will be behind a paywall: examples are [[Google Scholar]], [[BASE (search engine)\|BASE]] and the [[Internet Archive]]'s https://scholar.archive.org/ . [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJH6MfuZs7s This longer video] outlines the use of some Google Scholar features. [[Internet Archive]] and [[Google Books]] ~~index~~indexes millions of books, both academic and popular; however, not all will be available in full text. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCBy9z3f9Mw This video] introduces the use of Internet Archive for research. Several publishers make multiple editions of their books available through Google Books. Sometimes, Google initially returns a link only to the e-book edition, but that edition may include links to alternate hardcover or softcover editions which do have original pagination. Google Books limits previews of copyrighted books to a certain number of pages. It is possible to jump ahead to exhaust that number from a later starting page by editing the browser URL. For example, adding "&pg=PA100" will usually jump to page 100. Installing the [[Unpaywall]] extension on your browser helps you find the full text of the articles wherever you found them. Public or research libraries have both books and research databases, covering a wide variety of subject areas. [[WP:FYL\|Find yours]].
