What is Google Scholar?
Google Scholar is a web search engine that allows you to search for
scholarly literature across a broad range of subjects and sources.
It doesn't index everything as not all publishers have agreed access to their
content. A great deal of content is still only available through the
electronic publications and databases to which Information Learning
Services subscribes - all of these can be found through the Discover
search tool on the Information Learning Services website.
Linking Google Scholar and
Discover
Google Scholar can be linked to
Discover which allows seamless full text access to online journal articles
subscribed to by Information Learning Services. This means that you will
have access to far more full text content than you would normally. Just follow these steps:
- Go to GoogleScholar and click on the settings link
- Look for and click on the Library Links option
- Type YSJ into the search box, select York St John University – Get it @YSJ and click on Save
Now carry out a search as normal
on Google Scholar and look for the Get it @ YSJ links. Get it @ YSJ will
take you to the full text of the article through Discover. You may need
to log on to Discover the first time you click on a Get it @ YSJ link.
