Google Scholar: If searching Google Scholar, set preferences to Edith Cowan University to link to full text held at ECU.
It is automatic if on campus. Off campus users need to change their Google preferences to Edith Cowan University to set up a library link in Google Scholar. This enables ECU staff and students to link directly to full-text journal articles and books held at ECU Library.
Follow these steps to set up Library Links in Google Scholar on your own computer:
1. Go to Google Scholar Preferences (http://scholar.google.com/scholar_preferences)
2. Type Edith Cowan University in the Library Links text box
3. Check the box next to Edith Cowan University Library - Find It@ECU
4. Click Save Preferences
Next time you search Google Scholar, you will see Find It@ECU link below the results. This will take you directly to ECU Library's link to resources.
