Using Google Scholar

Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts, and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities, and other web sites. Google Scholar helps you find relevant work across the world of scholarly research.

Locating the full text of an article

Connecting your Emory Library account

From Google Scholar, click the three-bar "hamburger" in the top left of the screen.
Select "Settings".

On the Settings Page

Click the "Library links" option.
Enter "Emory" into the search bar.
Select the check box for "Find it @ Emory" - not Emory & Henry!
