Before you begin your search, you should set up library links. This allows Google Scholar to connect your search results to the holdings at Phillips Library, so that you can easily access the full text of articles made available by our institutional subscriptions.
1. From the Google Scholar Homepage, click on the dropdown menu symbol, the "hamburger" in the upper left. Select Settings.
2. Select Library links on the left side of the page.
3. Enter "Aurora University".
4. Check the boxes below that mention Aurora University and the “Open WorldCat” option and click Save.
The link to "AU Full Text" will take you from Google Scholar to the full text options for an article in Spartan Search. The Open WorldCat link helps connect to any relevant books that Google Scholar finds.
Please note: If you are on campus using AU’s wifi network, you should automatically be linked to library holdings. However, setting up Library Links allow you to see full text links from off campus. To save your settings, you will need to create a Google account.
