SF Holdings in Google Scholar

http://www.sfcollege.edu/library/?section=tutorials/google_scholar

This video tutorial will demonstrate how to access Santa Fe’s database holdings using Google Scholar.

Google Scholar is a subset of Google that lets you search for scholarly information, including articles, scholarly books, and other types of publications. Not everything indexed in Google Scholar is available with the full text. However, you can increase your full-text results by adding on Santa Fe College as your library.

To access Google Scholar, direct your Web browser to scholar.google.com.

At the top left of the page, click the three line horizontal icon, and choose Settings. On the next screen, click Library Links.

On the Library Links page, type santa fe college in the search box, and press the Enter key. In the resulting list, select Santa Fe College – Full Text @ Santa Fe. Then click Save.

Saving your settings takes you back to the Scholar search screen. Enter your search statement in the box provided and press the Enter key. For this example, the search statement is “mindfulness meditation” AND anxiety.

The next screen is the results list. If you see a Full Text @ Santa Fe link to the right of an article, Santa Fe has access to that article. Click the Full Text @ Santa Fe link.

You must log in to access the article. To log in, your Borrower ID is your 8 digit Santa Fe ID number, without the hyphen. Your PIN/Password is the last 4 digits of your Santa Fe ID number. Type these numbers into the boxes and click Log In.

You will be taken to the full text of the article. In some databases, you may have to click Full Text links to view the article.

Articles with other links in the far right column are freely available online. As with any link to a file found on the Web, be cautious. If you do not recognize the source of the link, you probably should not click it. Instead, contact a librarian for assistance.

If an article does not have a link in the right column, the full text is not currently available. To request a full-text copy of the article, please contact a librarian.

This concludes the video tutorial on accessing Santa Fe’s holdings through Google Scholar. If you still have questions, please contact a librarian.
