Google Scholar: How to Search

Why Am I Not Getting Full Text?

 

If you're using Google Scholar from off campus, links in search results may not work (you'll hit paywalls) because:

  • Google Scholar doesn't know that you're affiliated with Baruch or CUNY SPS
  • we actually don't have online access to the content you found

 

Make sure you use the "Find Full Text at Baruch" links

Two Options for Getting Full Text

Option 1: Change the "Library Links" settings in Google Scholar

  1. Use this link to change the settings in Google Scholar so it knows that you are affiliated with Baruch College
  2. Make sure that the checkbox for "Baruch College Library -> Find Full Text at Baruch" is checked
  3. Click "Save"
  4. Use the search box on the Google Scholar page and then look for the "Find Full Text at Baruch" links first when trying to view content

Option 2: Use our Google Scholar search box

  1. Use our search box on this page that lets Google Scholar know that you're affiliated with Baruch College or CUNY SPS.
  2. On the search results pages, click the "Find Full Text at Baruch" links first when trying to view content.
