What is Google Scholar?

Google Scholar is a search tool that identifies scholarly research materials. 

How will I know if EvCC has access to the articles that I find?

If you access Google Scholar when you're on campus, you will automatically see "Get full text at EVCC" links next to article citations. 

Off Campus Instructions for getting on Google Scholar

Google Scholar Settings

 

If you are off-campus you can add EvCC as one of your libraries by doing the following:

Go to Google Scholar

Click on "Settings" (in Chrome) on the lower left

Click on "Library Links"

Search for Everett Community College

Select "Everett Community College - Get full text at EvCC" AND "EVERETT COMMUNITY COLLEGE - ProQuest Fulltext," AND "Everett Community College - Full-text at EvCC"

Click "Save"  

What should I do if I don’t see a "Get full text at EVCC" link for an article I want?

Google Scholar does not always know when EvCC has a journal. Try searching for the journal title to see if we have a printed or electronic version of the article or the journal that the article was published in.

What should I do if I'm asked to pay for an article?

Never pay for articles!  If EvCC does not own the journal, current students, staff, and faculty may request it through Interlibrary Loan. Interlibrary Loan
