When you add the NU Library to your Google Scholar account, Scholar will tell you if the Library has a copy of an article you want. 

If you would like to connect Google Scholar to the Library to check for full text in Library databases, please follow the instructions below.

![google scholar demo](https://d2jv02qf7xgjwx.cloudfront.net/accounts/341696/images/google-scholar-nu-2024.gif)

1.  In **[Google Scholar](https://scholar.google.com/)**, go to the Settings.
2.  Click "**Library Links**" on the left side.
3.  Search for **"National University San Diego".**
4.  Check the box next to "**National University (San Diego, Calif.) - Full Text at NU**" and click "**Save**".
5.  Search results will now include links to materials in National University Library. Right click on the "Full Text at NU" link to to open the full-text resource in a new window or tab.

### Doesn't work?

If the linker does _not_ direct you to the full text, you may search for articles by title using the Library's NavigatorSearch. See the question: [I have a citation for a journal article. How do I find the full text?](http://ncu.libanswers.com/faq/168387)
