You can set up Google Scholar to easily check if articles you find are also in one of our databases. This feature of Google Scholar is called Library Links.

Currently, Google Scholar Library Links cover only journal articles. Books are not yet covered by Library Links despite them showing up in Google Scholar. If there is a book you're interested in reviewing, please check it's full-text availability by entering the title in our Library Search box.

Setting up Google Scholar

  1. Visit Google Scholar.
  2. Open Scholar's Settings menu (click the three lines at the top left of the Google Scholar home page, then click Settings).
  3. Click Library Links on the left menu.
  4. Type Seneca Libraries into the search box and press enter.

    Arrow pointing from the library links tab to the box where you enter the words Seneca Libraries.
  5. You should see Seneca Libraries - View it: Seneca Libraries appear. Check the box and press Save.

    You'll now have Library Links activated in Google Scholar, which will look something like this when you search:

Google Scholar search showing the View It link

And clicking the View it link will take you to the record and access options on the Seneca Libraries website.
