Google Docs Research Tool

Google Docs has a few hidden gems that many users are unaware of.  Did you know can research topics, quotes, and images without leaving your document? For example, let's say I want to add a quote to my document.  I can go to TOOLS, click on RESEARCH and Voila! the research box appears.
  1. I can start typing the quote I want... 
  2. the research tool pulls up many options....
  3. I select the one I want...
  4. Click on my choice to add it to my paper...
  5. Click to add the citation link as well!



Another cool feature is being able to add images without leaving the doc.  The tool makes is extremely easy to add royalty free images, a practice that is often forgotten.  See the video below.
