While this isn’t extremely new technology, this will be the first semester that I’ve incorporated Google Scholar Library Links in some of my library instruction sessions.
Milner Library is collaborating with Google, so that when when Milner Library provides online access to an article in Google Scholar, a “Find It @ ISU” link should appear in Google Scholar. It is not perfect; I have discovered that sometimes links display when online access is not available, and other times links do not display when online access is available. Nevertheless, if you’re a Google Scholar user, the library links provide a seamless way to access some resources from Milner Library.
It’s easy to get these “Find It @ ISU” links to appear. You just need to set your Scholar Preferences.
