Did you know that Google Scholar can tell you if USA has an article full-text? This is very helpful so you do not have to find an article through Google Scholar and then see if you have access to it.
To manually set Google Scholar Preferences:
1. Go to https://libproxy.usouthal.edu/login?url=http://scholar.google.com/
Choose settings from the dropdown menu on the upper left.
2. Choose Library Links. In the box, type University of South Alabama
3. You should get three choices: University of South Alabama (USA eText); Open WorldCat (Library Search); and University of South Alabama (Full Text@IngentaConnect)
4. Check the boxes in front of each one
6. Click Save Preferences
Please note: If USA does not have access to an article, you can request it through Interlibrary Loan.However, Google Scholar is not perfect, please double check our databases before making your request.
First, choose the Advanced search option by going to the upper left corner and clicking on the drop-down menu and choosing Advanced search.
This will open a new box. Here you will put your search terms. Google Scholar has Boolean operators built in.
Example search: Articles that discuss feminism and patriarchal societies in the fiction of Eudora Welty -- but we are not interested in a discussion of William Faulkner (this will also exclude articles that may discuss both of the authors).
