Google Scholar

Google Scholar

Google Scholar uses the Google search engine to search specifically for scholarly literature, including peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports.

Google Scholar results include links to Brown University Library resources. These links will appear automatically if you search from an on-campus computer; off-campus you must go to "Scholar Preferences" and search for "Brown". Please note that you must also log into your VPN client or to EZPROXY if you are off-campus.

The Brown links appear as:

  • Find It @ Brown Full Text at the end of the article title if the Library subscribes to full text (see an example) or

  • Find It @ Brown to search the Library's catalog or place an interlibrary loan request (see an example).
