Cole Library Links to Google Scholar

The Cole Library's electronic resources are now linked to Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com) through SFX.  From on campus, you'll see the SFX @ RPI link in text as it appears here.  From off campus, use Google Scholar Preferences to search and select "Rensselaer Hartford Campus" in order to make the links appear.  You will still need to authenticate to view full text of articles available in our subscription databases.

For those new to Google Scholar, it is a service that meta-searches freely available citations of scholarly articles and returns results based on relevance.  It can be helpful as a supplement to the Cole Library's subscription databases.  For more information on Google Scholar and its strengths and limitations, please visit this page from the UCLA Library at http://www2.library.ucla.edu/googlescholar/index.cfm.
