Google Scholar searches scholarly information such as academic articles, peer-reviewed articles, academic books, and court documents available on the Internet. It uses the power of Google searching, but filters results to be more academic.
You can link Google Scholar to databases at Citrus College, allowing you to search more than one database at a time. On your home device:
1. Click on the menu at the top of the screen, next to “My profile” and “My library”. (see above)
2. Select Settings from the menu on the left of the screen.
3. Under Library Links search for and check everything that says Citrus College and Open WorldCat – Library Search.
4. Click SAVE. Your preferences will be saved as long as your cookies are enabled.
Note: If you are using a public computer, your preferences will not be saved.
If you have Citrus College Library set up in your Scholar Preferences link, and Citrus College has the article, the label View it @ Citrus College will show to the right.
For example, in the article shown below you can choose either the web source of the article (“[HTML] from sciencedirect.com”) – which is faster – OR from the Citrus College full-text version in our databases.
If there is no full-text link, clicking the article title will take you to a journal website that will ask you to sign in or pay to get the article.
Note: Never pay for an article. Contact a librarian if you want a specific article, but it is not available right away. We can usually get the article within a few days for free or help you find another article on your topic.
Note: Google Scholar does not include DOI information. You'll need to grab the citation from Google Scholar, then click on the title of the article to go to the article page. The article page probably has the DOI, which you should add at the end of the citation with no period following as it can interfere with the link.
