Services and Resources for Graduate Students: Google Scholar

Google Scholar is a great tool for doing research, and it often allows to find the full-text of articles that are not otherwise available through the Library resources. It also prompts you to pay to get access for full-text articles that, in many cases, are already freely accessible to JCU members through one of the Library's subscription databases or journals. 

Now we have integrated the Library resources with Google Scholar.

When you are doing research at JCU, you will be automatically redirected to all those resources that are available in full-text. If you are working remotely, you can use Google Scholar's Library Links feature to identify yourself as a JCU member. This allows you to find full-text library resources directly through Google Scholar results.

Let's see how this works in details.

If may find an article in Google Scholar that is not available in full-text. In this case, it may be available via our Library after using the Library Links Feature. 

To enable Google Scholar's Library Links feature, you must select John Cabot University in the settings menu. Once you set and save your preferences, you will be able to link to library resources retrieved with a Google Scholar search.
