Find It with Google Scholar

Users of Google Scholar will be pleased to note that retrieval will now include a link to Find It at UW Madison. If you are using Google Scholar from an on-campus location, following the Find It at UW Madison link will map you to local holdings for the particular item—either in full-text online or as available in print from campus libraries.

If you are using Google Scholar from off-campus, select Scholar Preferences from the Google Scholar search page, and type the name of your library in the Library Links section. (Note: A simple search here for Wisconsin will supply you with several UW library choices--select University of Wisconsin-Madison). Click Save Preferences in order to generate an active Find It at UW Madison link.

Do note that selecting a link to a full-text article from off-campus will require you to login with your UW-Madison NetID. For information regarding off-campus access, see: http://www.library.wisc.edu/off-campus/
