use Google Scholar to access our online resources

Unlike Google, which searches everything on the web, Google Scholar limits searches to scholarly resources including "peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations."

Many resources retrieved by Google Scholar are full text, however some are located in subscription online databases. The SJRCC Libraries have made their online database holdings accessible to Google Scholar, allowing our students, faculty, and staff to access full text resources that were previously unavailable via Google Scholar.

ACCESSING GOOGLE SCHOLAR FROM A SJRCC COMPUTER
If you access Google Scholar from a computer located on a SJRCC campus (in the library, computer lab or an office), Google Scholar will recognize you and provide links to SJRCC resources - you may need your library borrower ID number and password to access the full text, so have it handy!

ACCESSING GOOGLE SCHOLAR FROM HOME
If you access Google Scholar from home, you will need to let it know that you want the SJRCC Libraries' online resources to be made available in your search by setting your Scholar Preferences:

1. Click Scholar Preferences.
2. In the Library Links text box, type St. Johns River Community College.
3. Click Find Library.
4. Check the box next to St. Johns River Community College.
5. Click Save Preferences.

TO RETRIEVE ITEMS IN GOOGLE SCHOLAR
1. Type your keyword(s) in the Google Scholar search box and click Search.
2. If you see next to the title of a resource, that item should be available to you, full text, via the SJRCC Libraries' online databases. Click the link for access. Remember to have your 14 digit library Borrower ID number and PIN handy.

3. If you don't see "Access via SJRCC library", the full text may still be available to you - click the title and find out!

This screen shot provides some examples of the types of links you will see.
