 Get quick access to Keele University full-text articles when searching on Google Scholar.

If you use google scholar to find online articles, link to your library subscriptions to access full-text straight away.

Here's how to do it:

It is suitable for simple text searching or for looking for specific articles, where you have the reference. To set up links to your library full-text content, click the menu option in the top left corner.
