2. Click on the 
gear icon that is located on the top right hand side of the screen in the black bar.
3. Select "Scholar Preferences."
4. Type "Colorado State University" into the "Library Links" box. Click on "Find Library." Select "Colorado State University (FindIt@CSU)"
5. Select "Save Preferences."
6. Now the FindIt@CSU link should appear in Google Scholar each time you run a search.
What is 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.
