Linking Google Scholar to UTSA Libraries
If you plan to use Google Scholar off campus and want to access full-text articles, you'll need to link UTSA Libraries for to your Google Scholar. This can be done by following the directions below or watching this tutorial.
- Google Scholar Google Scholar is a freely accessible web search engine that indexes the full text or metadata of scholarly literature across an array of publishing formats and disciplines. This link goes to a custom Google Scholar search that links to UTSA resources. For the standard version please visit https://scholar.google.com
From Google Scholar
Sign in to your Google account, or use your abc123@ my.utsa.edu and passphrase
Click 
at the top left corner
Click 
Click Library Links
Search for UTSA
Select UTSA Libraries – Available Now @ UTSA
Be sure the box next to UTSA Libraries – Available Now @ UTSA is checked
Click Save
Click the Available Now @ UTSA link for full-text access to an article. If you don't see the link, submit a Get It For Me request, and we’ll get the material from another library for you.
If you access Google Scholar directly at scholar.google.com without logging in and creating library links, full-text linking will not be available, and you may be asked to pay.
During updates to Google Scholar these settings can be lost. If Available Now @ UTSA no longer appears, please follow the directions above to link your account again.
It is important to note that Google Scholar will not always properly link to UTSA Libraries holdings. For titles without the Available Now @ UTSA designation, we recommend visiting the item then adding the UTSA Libraries Proxy Stem and/or searching for the title, in quotations, in the Library Quick Search.
