Can I use Google Scholar to find full text articles?

Google Scholar can be used to find full-text articles, but often you will have to pay a fee to access them. However, there is a way to vastly improve your search results by searching OhioLINK and OU Libraries resources through the Google Scholar interface - the Library Links function of Google Scholar makes this possible.

If you're on campus Google Scholar will search OU Libraries databases automatically - look for "OLinks" or "Find it with OLinks" options by article titles. These articles will be available to you free of charge, courtesy of the Ohio University Libraries and OhioLINK.

If you're off campus, you can set the Library Links section of your Google Scholar Preferences to access Ohio University and OhioLINK - just search for each of these and click their boxes to enable Library Linking.
