  5. Google Scholar will now be aware the Graduate Center's resources, and signal these when you search Scholar on your computer. Scholar uses CUNY Find-it Citation Linking , see the FAQ for more info, and the following signals:
    • Electronic Full-Text Resources: If citations are in electronic full-text the phrase “Find Full-Text at the GC” is displayed. Follow the "Find Fulltext at GC" link to the "Find-it" screen to see retrieval options.
    • Using Google Scholar Off-campus - For the "Find fulltext at GC" links to work properly off-campus, use the library Databases page to access Google Scholar via the library's proxy server. Using Scholar through the proxy server allows the "Find-it" button to interface properly with the GC's electronic holdings.
    • Print Resources: If there is no electronic full-text at the Grad Center, but the item is available in print in a CUNY library, the phrase “Related Info at the GC” is displayed. Follow this link to the "Find-it" screen to link to the record in the CUNY+ library catalog.
