Literature Search with Google Scholar

There is a way to link the MSU electronic resources to Google Scholar.

The procedure is described here:

https://lib.msu.edu/rds/offcampus-access/

This way you can download the articles directly through scholar.

If you are accessing resources through Google Scholar and want to ensure your access to MSU Library resources is seamless, do the following:

1. Go to Google Scholar

2. Click the menu to the left of My Profile, in the upper-left corner

3. Click on "Settings"

4. Click on "Library Links"

5. Search for Michigan State University

6. Select "Michigan State University Libraries – MSU Text Access" and "MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY - ProQuest Fulltext" by checking the boxes

7. Click "Save"

8. Do your search in Google Scholar

9. Click on the link for "MSU Access" that will appear to the right of the title of the resource and you'll be prompted for your NetID and password to access that resource. Please Note – if you click on the title and not the "MSU Access" link you won’t be taken to the resource.
