Find an interesting abstract or citation that you wish you could read? In many cases you may have access to the complete document through your library -- and Google Scholar can show you when you do.

Google works with libraries to determine which journals and papers they've subscribed to electronically, and then links to articles from those sources when they're available. Once you tell us what library you're a member of, we'll keep an eye out for that library's subscription materials and provide special links to them in your search results.

To make these links appear, just access Google Scholar from an on-campus location of a participating library, and we'll automatically include these links.

Or, follow these steps:

• Click on Scholar Preferences.
• Type the name of your library in the 'Library Links' section.
• Click Save preferences.
• Start searching with links to your library's resources (you may need to authenticate yourself to access these resources).

If you don't see these links or you can't find your campus library in the list, contact your librarian and tell them about Google Scholar's Library Links program.
