What is Google Scholar?

Google Scholar Library Links Find an interesting abstract or citation that you wish you could read? In many cases you may have access to the complete document through OSU Libraries -- and Google Scholar can show you when you do. Google works with libraries to determine which journals and papers they've subscribed to electronically, and then links to articles from those sources when they're available. Once you tell us what library you're a member of, we'll keep an eye out for that library's subscription materials and provide special links to them in your search results.

Setting up Google Scholar to include Find It @ OSU library links is easy.  Simply go to the Scholar Preferences and enter Oregon State University in the Library Links field.  If you are on your home computer, make sure you are logged into your Google account to save your preferences.
