Google Scholar

Google Scholar promotes itself as a resource that provides one-stop shopping for scholarly literature. It searches across many disciplines and covers a wide variety of resources, including journal articles, theses, books, abstracts, and more. Although Google Scholar is aimed at the academic community, it uses a very broad definition of "scholarly literature." It is important to realize that not everything in Google Scholar is peer reviewed.

Configuring Google Scholar to Display the FindIt@CSU Link

Google Scholar can be configured to work with the CSU Libraries' FindIt@CSU linking service that will connect you with the full text of articles subscribed to by the CSU Libraries, as well as Interlibrary Loan Services. The FindIt@CSU link will automatically display for users accessing Google Scholar from on campus, but off-campus users will have to configure Google Scholar to display the link.

 

1. Go to Google Scholar -http://scholar.google.com

2. Click on the triple bar iconthat is located on the top left hand side of the screen.
