Update to Full Text@RGU on Google Scholar

With the recent launch of our new library catalogue (https://librarysearch.rgu.ac.uk), we have also updated the Full Text@RGU service on Google Scholar.  If you have previously set this up , you will need to re-add it in order to continue using it.  The steps below will show you how to re-add this service, or how to add it for the first time if you have never used it before.

What is the Full Text@RGU service on Google Scholar

You can use this service to find out if RGU has the full text, online version of a journal article when searching Google Scholar. Once set up, when looking at the search results you will see a Full Text@RGU link next to any articles that are available from RGU, as can be seen below:

Clicking on this link will either take you directly to the article, or will open up a new screen where you will get information about where to view the article:
