Student Resource: How to configure Google Scholar to search for journal articles, then access the articles through the UTAS Library


Google Scholar (www.scholar.google.com.au) is a very useful tool you can use to find journal articles. However, if you use Scholar to search for articles while off-campus, you may be prompted to pay for access the full text version of the article. Fortunately, you can configure Google Scholar to search for an article in a UTAS Library. If an article is available at UTAS, the user can click on a check for full text at UTAS link. After entering their UTAS username and password, they are generally given full access to the article listing, including the full-text article (if available).

The video below explains how to configure Google Scholar to search the UTAS Library. Please feel free to embed it in your unit if you feel if will be of help to your students. You’re also welcome to use the text from the top of this article.
