Google SCHOLAR is a subset of the larger Google search engine. It searches only for articles from mostly scholarly sources where the holder of the copyright has allowed internet access.

Here at KU, the librarians have configured Google Scholar to pull in the PDF of the KU databases you have a paid subscription for as a student here.  To take advantage of this "extra", you have 2 options:
You can get it by going to the A-Z Database link and selecting Google Scholar from that page, or use this link:   https://library.kutztown.edu/googlescholar

or, you can set up your personal device so Google Scholar knows you are a student at KU and automatically pulls in the articles every time you search Google Scholar.

Go to Google Scholar (scholar.google.com)

1. Select the hamburger (three horizontal lines) in the upper left corner
2. Select SETTINGS
3. Select LIBRARY LINKS tab at the top
4. Enter Kutztown University in the box and SEARCH
5. Make sure all 4 checkboxes are checked and SAVE.

You are all set!
