How to Find Resources

First: Activate the Find it @NU links in Scholar Settings  and then continue with one of these options:

Option 1: Sign into the Galter Library website and access Google Scholar from there. When signed in, search for "Google Scholar" in the library website search box and click the resulting link. The address for Google Scholar should be: http://scholar.google.com.ezproxy.galter.northwestern.edu/.

Option 2: Connect via the VPN service so Google Scholar will recognize your query as originating from the university's IP range and allow access via the article title or Find it @NU link. For more details on how to connect via the VPN, see the "Connecting From Off Campus " page from NUIT. In some cases, even when signed into the Galter Library website or with the VPN enabled you may still be redirected to the Online Passport page. You will have to log in with your valid NU netID and password in order to proceed to the journal page to access the article. You must have cookies enabled on your browser for the Online Passport to work properly. See the "How NU Online Passport Works " page for more information.

1. Run your search in Google Scholar.
2. If the library subscribes to a journal within your search results, you should be able to access full-text by clicking on the article title.
3. You can also try the Find it @ NU links but you may be redirected to the Online Passport page (see above).
