Follow on Google News | Academic Search Engine Knobull Can Be The Student Researchers' Best FriendBy: Knobull Introducing your next best friend: the Knobull academic search engine which saves the day by searching repositories of publishers, universities or scholarly websites rather than carrying out a generic web search." For instance, if your assignment is about "sustainable tourism," all you'd have to do is type that keyword into the search engine box and then many scholarly materials connected to sustainable tourism would appear. Another advantage of the Knobull search engine is that you're linked to a range of scholarly resources in an instant. Because of its easy-to-use features, you won't waste time trying to familiarize yourself with its system. For instance, if you type the last name of an author that you'd like to find out more and a key term related to their work, your desired results should show up in seconds. And if you need to skim the abstract of articles, Knobull is ideal as they display brief snippets of what the resource contains underneath its title — which saves you a lot of time! You can also see how many other users have cited it online, which may prove useful if you're searching for unique scholarly texts that no one else has resourced before. If you're already a search engine user, then the use of Knobull search should come naturally. While you're at university, you can use other Knobull functions such as the Resources page which provides direct links to many useful academic sources, the Message Board to access the Knobull study group to collaborate with fellow students and experts, Contact page to request career advice or Student News page to review student focused articles. Bentley concluded, "So the transition over to Knobull should be quick and familiar. Another perk of this academic search engine is that it's free! There are no paid subscriptions or exclusive membership packages that you need to pay for — which is perfect when you're living on a student budget." End
