Linking Google Scholar to BGSU Libraries
Google Scholar (scholar.google.com) can be a great resource when searching for Academic Journal articles. However, many of the articles it discovers are not freely available on the internet, though you might have access through BGSU University Libraries. How do you know which articles BGSU provides access to? Set your Google Scholar Library Links Setting to Bowling Green State University - Find it! at BGSU.
From the Google Scholar search page, open the menu on the top left corner and select Settings (depending on screen size, you might just see a cog icon). Then click on Library Links and search for, select, and save Bowling Green State University - Find It! at BGSU.
Now on your Google Scholar results list, a Find it! at BGSU link will appear when the article is available through a BGSU subscription.
