Google Scholar Linking
-
What is Google Scholar?
-
Using Google Scholar on Campus.
The link, “Find Online at WNCLN” will appear for those journal titles that are included in our Western North Carolina Library Network. It will bring you to the WebBridge panel where users can see if we have electronic access to the full-text of the article or if we have paper holdings of the journal.
For Book citations, the link, “Find in Print at WNCLN” will appear. This will also take the user to the WebBridge panel with a link to locate the title in the catalog. Currently the book citations might look a little funny, often "author" appears after the "title" field and the book title displays as “Source”- we’re working to solve this minor display issue . -
Using Google Scholar Off-Campus.
Select “Scholar Preferences” (to the right of the Google Scholar search box), then choose “Western North Carolina Library Network (Find Online at WNCLN)” from the “Library Links” section. Once the preferences have been set on a computer the user won’t need to do this again (unless cookies have been disabled). -
What should I do if I'm asked to pay for the full text?
Google Scholar often links to versions of papers and articles on commercial publisher web sites that may prompt you to buy a subscription or pay to access an article.You do not have to pay for articles!
Check our holdings by doing a “Periodical Title” search in the Library Catalog. If we don't own it, you may be able to order it through our Interlibrary loan and Document Delivery Services. Don't hesitate to call the reference desk at (828)262-2820, or use Ask a Librarian for help. -
What if there are no WNCLN links and I need the article?
Materials we do not own are often available through our Interlibrary loan and Document Delivery Services. Call the reference desk at (828)262-2820 , or use Ask a Librarian for help.
