Getting the Most Out of Google & Google Scholar

Search tips and shortcuts when using Google Scholar and other Google interfaces.

Set up Library Links

Setting up "Library Links" gives you easy access to articles available through our library subscriptions. Even if we don't have the full text of the article you found in Google Scholar, the Library Links tool will automatically populate a MyILL request for you so that you can obtain it through another library. Follow the steps below to set up this feature. Please note that settings are computer-specific, so you will need to set up this feature on all devices that you use Google Scholar on.

From Google Scholar, click on the 3-bar menu located in the top left:

Choose the Settings option from the menu:

Click on the Library Links option. Search for "Illinois Institute of Technology" and click the magnifying glass:

Check the box next to "Illinois Institute of Technology - Find Full Text -> IIT" and press Save:

Now, when searching for articles, the Find Full Text button will appear to the right of the result. Click on it to get access to the article.

If you don't see the "Find Full Text -> IIT" link on the right side, try expanding the two small arrows below the citation. This will bring you to a request link in order to request the article through MyILL.
