How do I setup Google Scholar to work with the Library Catalog?

Linking to the Library Catalog with Google Scholar enables easier access to scholarly articles and journals


Answer

Google Scholar indexes a vast number of citations. You can make Scholar a more effective at finding full-text articles by enabling the University of Minnesota FindIt@UMD tool.  When linked together FIndIt and Google Scholar offer library patrons quick access to scholarly articles, journals, and catalog records for books.
