Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris

Obtaining library resources is the main task that carried out by students in attending lectures. The student learning experience will be achieved maximally if it is supported by complete library resources. The existence of strong development of information and communication technology makes everyone tend to seek information through the internet. For that reason, search engines are an easy way to get sufficient library resources. Many types of search engines are available, but which ones are effective and efficient are not studied in depth. Hence, it is necessary to research to find an effective search engine. In this study, three types of engines were taken from that were mostly used by the students, namely Microsoft Academic, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. A total of 134 doctoral program students were taken as research samples. The results showed that students used Google Scholar more in finding library sources, followed by ScienceDirect, and Microsoft Academic. There are differences in the advantages, disadvantages, and availability of information obtained through the three search engines. ? 2021 IEEE.
