Google Scholar

Customize Google Scholar Off-Campus

Download the Library Toolbar to configure Google Scholar to signal GC Library resources and to incorporate CUNY Find-it Citation Linking. Or, customize Google Scholar as below to signal Grad Center full-text articles and CUNY books, without the employing the enhanced FindIt options. Use either with the library proxy server to interface properly with GC e-resources.

  1. Go to: http://scholar.google.com/
  2. Click on "Scholar Preferences"

    3. gs-home

  3. Search the Graduate Center as "Library Link".

    4. liblinks-search

  4. The Graduate Center should appear as below. Check and save your preferences.

    5. liblinks-results

  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 FindIt 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 FindIt 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 Findit screen to see the CUNY library catalog record.
