Tip: We recommend starting at the EKU Libraries homepage to access Google Scholar to ensure you are connected to EKU Libraries resources, which will allow you to (1) access the article in our subscription databases if available and/or (2) request we get you the article for free.

 

From the homepage, scroll to the bottom where you should find the link to Google Scholar under the "Research Resources" column.

Enter as much of the title of the article as you can into the Google Scholar search box.

Check for PDF or HTML links to full text to the right of each article title, as Google Scholar will direct link to PDFs/HTML fulltext whenever it can. We recommend trying these first to ensure quick access.

No PDF/HTML full-text links? Or does the link from Google Scholar actually ask you to pay to access the full-text version? Then look for a "Find Full Text at EKU" link to the right of the result. Use that link to get or request the full text of the article.

Don't see a "Find Full Text at EKU" link to the right of the article. Sometimes our "Find Full Text at EKU" link is hidden behind the double-arrows icon located beneath a search result. That's the case with this article example shown below.
