Q. Can I use Google Scholar for research? How do I access it?

Google Scholar is a free online tool that helps you discover and organize scholarly articles, books, court opinions, and theses. All UML community members can use Google Scholar to find, save, and arrange material, set up alerts, and export citations. UML faculty and researchers can use Google Scholar to create profiles that keep track of their publications or citations as well.  

 

You’ll need a Gmail address to sign in to Google Scholar. If you don’t already have one, you can create a free Gmail account first.  

 

Once you’ve logged in, you can use the Library Links function to connect your Google Scholar account with the UML library. This lets you easily see when UML has access to specific material, when you’re searching for articles with Google Scholar. 

 

Visit the Library's guide to Google Scholar/ to learn how to manage your account settings (for all users) and to set up your Google Scholar profile (faculty and researchers ONLY).
