Set-up Google Scholar to link to Edmonds Library subscriptions

  1. Go to Google Scholar search page
  2. Click on the three lines in the upper left
  3. Click on Settings, then Library Links
  4. Search for Edmonds, then click the check box for "Edmonds College - View it @ Edmonds College"
  5. Click Save
  6. If you are logged into Chrome, this setting will be saved. If not, you can do it just for one session.

Getting articles that aren't full-text:

  1. If there are no PDF, HTML, or Edmonds links on the right, click the title of the article
  2. This will take you to the publisher's website, where the article may or may not be free
  3. If they are asking for money for the article, don't pay!
  4. Try searching the title of the article (not the journal) in quotation marks in Google (not Google Scholar). Believe it or not, this will produce a different set of results and can sometimes lead to full text.
  5. If those strategies do not work, request the article through InterLibrary Loan or email the article title to Haley and she will order the article for you.
