Using Google Scholar to access EUI Library Resources

The Library has enabled 'EUI links' in Google Scholar to display full-text content for EUI members.

To use the service, EUI users must set preferences in their browser in order to enable full-text access to EUI Library-subscribed resources.

1. Go to http://scholar.google.com/

2. Click on the Google Scholar Settings icon link in the top menu; then click on 'Library Links'

3. ON-CAMPUS Users should automatically see an entry for 'European University Institute - EUI Links.' If the checkbox next to the entry is blank, click the box

4. OFF-CAMPUS Users should search for 'European University Institute' in the Library Links search box. Click the box for 'European University Institute - EUI Links'

5. Click Save, then enter the search keywords required.

Once Google Scholar has been configured, EUI users will see 'EUI Links' next to entries for full-text articles that EUI members have access to. For example:

Tips on Using Google Scholar 

• If Google Scholar does not provide a complete citation (eg. if the date of publication is missing) the EUI Links service may be prevented from displaying EUI full-text options

• If an article in the Google Scholar results' list does not include an EUI Links' button, users should search the EUI Library Catalogue to see if a print version of the content is available

• Google Scholar does not contain all scholarly literature. Some publishers and vendors do not allow Google Scholar to index their databases.
