University Of Prince Edward Island Robertsoln Library – Google Scholar

What is Google Scholar?

A special version of Google designed to search for books and articles, rather than regular web pages.

Google Scholar is very useful, but off-campus users run into the problem of getting free access to Library-licensed journals.

There are 3 ways for you to handle this:

1. Access Google Scholar via the Library proxy server – sometimes Google does something to cause this to break – do NOT use this on campus, only off-campus!
2. Use this form to start your search session in Google Scholar – it appends a hidden code to tell Google you’re at UPEI even when off campus:
   
3. Add links to UPEI’s full text articles from Google Scholar search results.
