Affinity-Full-Text through Google Scholar


Did you know that if you use Google Scholar from an Affinity computer, you’ll be able to tap into the treasure trove of full-text articles made available by Affinity Lbirary Services? It’s true!

Google Scholar is the “smart” Google that searches the published journal literature.

If you try searching Google Scholar from home, publishers will typically ask you for a credit card in order to see full articles. If you use an Affinity computer, the publishers we work with know you’re with Affinity, and will grant you access to the full articles.

Use this PDF handout (Affinity access only) of step-by-step screen shots to make Google Scholar and Affinity Full-Text work for you. It includes
1) Getting to Google Scholar
2) Using the Advanced Search to focus results
3) Getting to Full-Text.
