Don't know if anyone has noticed this new Google feature. Google Scholar. by searching the terms

BDSM legal cases
Sadomasochism
Charles Moser
BDSM

Throws up quite a few interesting articles which where previously a little difficult to find. So any one doing a bit of research on these subjects either in legal cases,(U.S for now) journal articles now have a handy facility.

Google Scholar has been about for years. It's worth remembering that a lot of other academic search engines are also available for anyone to use, although it is more likely that you won't find a free link to the article with them.

We were encouraged to use google scholar and even google books. Wikipedia, however, is out of bounds!

Same here.

I'd love to know why any uni would not encourage the use of a search engine that provides links to peer reviewed papers, reviews, etc...

Yes it may bring up links to more obscure journals with lower impact factors, but surely the point in completing literature reviews is that during the process you learn to cut the chaff from the wheat so to speak.

They want us to do things old school eg learn through reading out of books and journals...actually doing the research instead of being lazy and doing it on the internet.

That's complete bullshit. You should be doing both.

Actively discouraging you from using what is ultimately any researchers main literature search tool, is akin to telling high school children not to learn to type - arguing they shouldn't be lazy and should write with fountain pen and paper - old school like...
