Connect Google Scholar to the Library’s Resources

You can connect Google Scholar to the library's resources so every time you search, you’ll see what resources you have access to as a U of G student, faculty or staff. If you are logged into your Google account, this is a one-time settings configuration. If you're not logged into Google, or you don’t have an account, you may have to reconfigure occasionally.
