SFX links in Google Scholar

By Catherine Sharp, on 5 March 2009

scholar.gifGoogle Scholar can display SFX links that show whether articles are available to UCL users.  As in other databases, the SFX links indicate if an article is available electronically via UCL’s subscriptions (or freely), and also allow you to search the UCL Library catalogue (and other catalogues) for print.  A large link, labelled “SFX@UCL – Fulltext” will appear if UCL has the item electronically. A smaller link, labelled simply “SFX@UCL”, below the citation, indicates that UCL may have the item in print.

The easiest way to see UCL’s SFX links in Google Scholar is to use the link to Google Scholar in the A-Z databases list.  (An alternative is to set UCL in your Scholar Preferences.)

Please note that Google Scholar can no longer be searched alongside other resources in MetaLib:  Google no longer permits this.
