Google Scholar: How can I find the full articles?

You can set up Google Scholar to link to full articles available through SU Libraries. Check out this quick video for instructions:


After you set up the links, you can search for the title of the article in Google Scholar. This provides instant access if the library has it and sometimes even if the library doesn't. (Sometimes articles are uploaded from other sources.)

For example, imagine that you have this citation for a journal article, and you want to find the full text of the article.

Szwedo, D. E., Mikami, A. Y., & Allen, J. P. (2012). Social networking site use predicts changes in young adults' psychological adjustment. Journal of Research on Adolescence, 22, 453-466.

Go to Google Scholar and select the menu in the upper left corner, then click Advanced Search. Enter the article title in the "exact phrase" box.
