Google Scholar is a freely accessible search engine that indexes the full text or citations of scholarly literature across an array of publishing formats and disciplines.
- Google Scholar will automatically identify and link to the full text of articles that are freely available on the web.
- If you are using Google Scholar while at a Franklin Pierce University campus, Google Scholar will automatically identify articles that are available in full text through DiPietro Library.
- If you are off campus, you can program Google Scholar to identify articles that are available through DiPietro Library by
- Selecting settings in the upper left of your screen
- Selecting library links (also in the upper left of your screen)
- Search for and selecting Franklin Pierce University.
