Search Google Scholar
Google Scholar searches Hartness subscription library databases, as well as Web-based journal indexes and college and university websites, to retrieve academic materials like book excerpts, reports, and articles.
When you search from here, articles you have access to through the Hartness databases will automatically be linked to the full text.
Search for materials using basic keywords related to your topic. In your results, you'll have the option to specify type of content or materials from a specific date. Some materials may be freely available online and appear as PDF or HTML links; when the Hartness Library has the content in a database, it will show up as "Full-Text @ Hartness." Click on the link to retrieve it from a library database.
Searching from the Google Scholar home page: Setting your preferences.
You can also access Google Scholar directly at http://scholar.google.com. If you do search directly, however, you will need to set you preferences to tell Google Scholar that you use the Hartness library in order for it to show links to Hartness materials.
1. From the main Google Scholar page click on "Scholar Preferences."
2. Locate the Library Links option. Enter Hartness as your library and then click on Find Library. When Hartness Library shows up as a result, check off the box to add it to your preferences settings.
3. Save your preferences - you may have to do this every time you use Google Scholar or every time you use a new Internet browser window.
Note: If you are logged into a Google account, these preferences will be saved and you should only have to go through this once.
