Google Scholar is tool for conducting scholarly literature searches across the web. You can find journal articles, theses, abstracts, dissertations, and more through searching, but it can't guarantee free access to resources; some content found may require payment or login access.
If you find content in Google Scholar it's always a good idea to check if Seneca Libraries has free access to the content.
How do I set up Library Links?
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
- Visit Google Scholar.
- Open Scholar's Settings menu (click the three lines at the top left of the Google Scholar home page, then click Settings).
- Click Library Links on the left menu.
- Type Seneca Libraries into the search box and press enter.
- 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:
And clicking the View it link will take you to the record and access options on the Seneca Libraries website.
