Google Scholar Interface Update

Earlier this month we posted about the ups and downs of using Google Scholar (among other Google search tools) for academic research. Today, the Google Scholar interface is up and running, making searching this way far more expedient than it used to be. Clicking the "full text" link to the right of a search result will open the article in EBSCOhost.

Set Google Scholar preferences on an off-campus device:

  1. Go to http://scholar.google.com/Click the link next to the search box called "scholar preferences"
  2. Scroll down to where it says "library links"
  3. Type chestnut hill college into the search box
  4. Check the box next to chestnut hill college when it appears below the search box 
  5. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click "save preferences."
Now, go back to http://scholar.google.com/ and start searching!
