Did you know?? Google Scholar @ your Library -- Summar Library at Union University is accessible through Google Scholar. When you search Google Scholar you can know if the resulting articles are available through our databases. In your Google Scholar results, you may see a link at the end of the title line that says “Full-text @ Union Univ.” This will link you back to electronic journal resources we hold to find the text of the article. If you do not see the full-text link, you may see a link at the bottom of the record that says “Check Summar Library.” These links will show up automatically if you are on campus. To activate them on a computer off campus, simply go to http://scholar.google.com and select “Scholar Preferences.” About halfway down the page is a box with a button that says “Find Library.” You need to select “Union University—Summar Library.” (There is another Union University listed so make sure you get the right one.) While you are at it, you might also want to select “Open WorldCat—Library Search.” This puts a link labeled “library search” at the bottom of book records. Following that link allows you to input a zip code and see the closest libraries that have a copy of the book. Now you are all set to use the ease and flexibility of Google Scholar searching to access resources at Summar Library. |
