Search Tips for Google Scholar

Search Tips

When searching Google Scholar, click on the links marked full-text for UP Library resources.

If the article doesn't have a full-text link, try clicking on the title of the article, some articles are freely available.

Use the Advanced Search (top left menu) for more search options, such as boolean searches, author searches or articles published in specific journals.

If the article isn't available from one of the UP Library's databases, ask the library to order the article via interlibrary loan.  The Library will order a copy of the article from another library.  The Library Staff will email the article to you, usually in 1-3 days.
