Google Scholar Support for Libraries

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Facilitating library access to scholarly texts brings us one step closer to this goal. We're thankful to the libraries and librarians who make it possible. We provide two ways to make it easier for your patrons to access the electronic and print resources in your library when they're using Google Scholar. Library Links Library links are article-level links to subscription full text for patrons affiliated with a library. This program works best for electronic resources, such as journal and conference articles. To sign up, you'll need an OpenURL-compatible link resolver, such as SFX from Ex Libris, 360 Link from Serials Solutions, LinkSource from EBSCO, or WebBridge from Innovative Interfaces. We also support several smaller vendors and regional products. Please contact the vendor of your link resolver to get included in Google Scholar. The vendor will normally ask you to fill a registration form that contains your subscriber IPs and the text of the link. They will then augment this information with your electronic holdings, and make this data available to our automatic indexing system. Your links should appear in Google Scholar within a week or two from the time the vendor makes your data available to our search robots. Please also contact your vendor if you need to make changes to your registration, or to remove it entirely. E.g., if you're moving to a different product, ...
