Research Guides: Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE): Google Scholar and Find it @WVU

Configure Google Scholar

While anyone can access Google Scholar from anywhere, we recommend that you access it either from the database page link (below), or you take the time to configure your profile. This makes it so that Google Scholar will prioritize results you have full text access to, and provide direct links to them as well.

Google Scholar This link opens in a new window
Scholarly literature, including peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports from all broad areas of research, with full text accessible via WVU Library subscriptions. Use Google Scholar to find articles from a wide variety of academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories and universities, as well as scholarly articles available across the web. Links to library electronic resources are available to WVU students and faculty.

Google Scholar is linked to the WVU Library holdings with Find it @WVU

WVU computers automatically link to WVU Library holdings
If you are not using a WVU computer (your own device or off-campus):
- Use the settings (the gear) in Google Scholar
- Edit Library links to include
  - Open WorldCat - Library Search
  - West Virginia University Libraries - Find it @ WVU
If Full Text is not available
- Use the Request: ILLiad button under "Request a copy of this item"
- Login to ILLiad with your WVUID credentials
