Using Google Scholar for Research

You may have heard of, or even used Google Scholar in the past to search for articles. Like base Google, it can be a great tool when used correctly. Not everything that appears on Google Scholar will be accessible to you, so to make sure that it is, watch this video, or read the description below, to see how to connect the WCSU Libraries' catalog and list of databases to your search function:

Step-by-Step Google Scholar Guide

In addition to WestSearch and the libraries' subscription databases, Google Scholar can be a great way to find articles for your research.  But if you want to be able to access full-text articles, you must update your settings in Google to link the search results to our libraries' databases.

1. Go to Google Scholar

2. Log in to your Google account
