Klinck Memorial Library Resources Guide: Google Scholar can help!

Easy way to use Google Scholar

Google Scholar can help you locate articles that have been made open-access by authors. If you locate an article in EBSCO or PubMed but it is not full-text, (of course you can still request it), try the following steps to see if you can locate the publication faster:

  • Go to the CUC library website
  • Click on the drop drop-down menu in the search bar to Google Scholar. This will allow you to search Google Scholar linked with the library's digital collection.

  • Paste the title of your article and go!
