What about Google Scholar?

Yes, of course! Academic researchers do all the time. But be aware of its benefits ...

Allows you to search scholarly literature across many disciplines and sources, not just a single database.
Suggests related articles, who else has cited this work
Frequently the fastest way to track down an article by citation

... and limitations

Not all articles returned are available full-text through JMU Libraries
Not all articles are peer-reviewed ( and there's no way to filter)
Less precise results than you’ll get using a specialized database
