Getting full-text from the library using Google Scholar

We have recently added the ability to connect to articles in our databases when searching Google Scholar. On campus, you will see a link that says "Full-Text@FPU Library" to the right of the search result. The link will ONLY appear if we have access to the article or journal in our databases. Clicking that link will bring you to a page listing options for viewing the article.

From off campus, you will have to add the library to your Google Scholar preferences in order for a link to our databases to display. To do that, click the link "Scholar Preferences" to the right of the Search button on the Google Scholar Homepage.
Scroll down to Library Links, and search for Franklin Pierce University. Select the library to add it to your links.

Now when you search Google Scholar from home, the "Full-Text@FPU Library" should appear. Again, the link will only appear if we have access to that article or journal in one of our databases. From off campus you will still have to login to access database content.
