Google Scholar Search

Google Scholar

A Google tool that:

  • searches the web for scholarly articles, books, theses, and related academic sources
  • generate citations and can also export citations to EndNote
  • to a certain extent shows "cited by" information for articles
  • can specify broad date ranges

Linking Google Scholar to Library Databases

You can set Google Scholar to display links into University Libraries databases for full text access.

  • Go to Google Scholar - Settings 
  • Click on Library links on the menu on the left
  • Search for Stony Brook in the search box
  • Check the box next to Stony Brook University - SUNY - FullText @ Stony Brook
  • Click save

You will now see FullText@StonyBrook links next to articles if the content is available in our databases.

Note: Google Scholar does NOT search all our databases.
