Google Scholar This link opens in a new window
Google Scholar is a great way to find academic articles, but many of the links lead to paywalls. To get around that, you tell Scholar to remember your York Library affiliation so you will always see “Find fulltext at York” options when available. From scholar.google.com, go to Settings and click on Library Links. Check all boxes for York College CUNY and click Save. If you’re logged into your Google account, it will remember that setting from now on. You can find more info here: https://libguides.york.cuny.edu/scholar
