Using Google scholar with Columbia University Augustus Long Health Library
Use Google Scholar to locate full-text articles via the library
The best method to use Google Scholar is to connect it to library-provided subscriptions. Once connected, Google Scholar will indicate which articles are available in full-text online via the library subscriptions and provide the Columbia e-link to access them.
The easiest way to enable this connection is to use the library-provided Google Scholar link that will already include the necessary settings and will ensure off-campus access to full-text articles (UNI/password authentication required).
Alternatively, set-up Google Scholar for an individual account by following these steps:
- Go to http://scholar.google.com
- Expand the menu icon on the top left corner and click Settings from the menu
- Click on Library Links from the navigation bar along the side of the page
- Search for the following locations in the Library Links then click on the Search button
- Columbia University in the City of New York
- Teachers College Library, Columbia University
- Check the box in the front of each and then click Save in the lower right corner
Once these settings are enabled, searches in Google Scholar will include a link on the right-hand side of the results to connect to full-text articles available online (the link will say “Columbia e-link” or “Full-Text @ TC”).
