How can I use Google Scholar to find articles in the SDSU collection?
Answer
If you use Google Scholar to do research, configuring it so it links to SDSU collections will increase the number of articles you can access.
Option 1. Use the Configured Search Box
Use the configured search box below to search for full text content provided by SDSU.
You can bookmark this configured search using this link:
https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=&inst=16216793859770411567
For both options, look for the Find it @ SDSU link next to results. Use that link to access SDSU library subscription content.
Off campus users must log in once they click on an article with their SDSUid and password.
Option 2. Add SDSU Library Links to Your Google Scholar
The link settings will be present any time you are logged into Google.

- Select Library links and type SDSU
