How to add Find it@ACU to Google Scholar

Many of you may already be using Google Scholar as it provides a simple, convenient way to search across a broad range of scholarly literature.

You might have noticed that on campus we have set up Google Scholar to link to full text electronic material our library has access to.

Did you know that it is also possible to do this from home by setting your Google Scholar Preferences. This will save you time and allow you to search across many resources at once from off-campus.

Follow the steps below to set your preferences:

  1. Go to Scholar Preferences (on the right of the Search button)
  2. Scroll down to the Library Links Search box and type in “Australian Catholic University”, then click ‘Find Library’
  3. Tick the check boxes next to the Australian Catholic University options
  4. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and Save your preferences

Now when you search Google Scholar your results list will include Find it@ACU links to connect you to the full text articles for which we can provide access.
