Google Scholar setup

In 3 steps, Google Scholar can be set up to recognize which articles found are available for free in full text online or available as a paper copy in Kent Library. The following steps need only be done once on your personal machine, but may have to be repeated on lab or other public computers

1) On the Google Scholar search screen, click on Scholar Preferences. graphic describing setup for Google Scholar
2) Enter 'southeast missouri' in the find library box and click the button. graphic describing setup for Google Scholar

3) Checkmark the choice 'Kent Library at Southeast Missouri State University - get full text'. *note: several choices with 'Southeast' show up, choose the one with the exact wording in green above. Click on the 'Save Preferences' button near the top right of the screen (not pictured here).

Now you can return to the Google Scholar search screen and search as usual.
