Google Scholar is a search engine that allows users to search for scholarly materials on a topic. Instead of searching the entire web (like Google), Google Scholar searches the scholarly literature provided by numerous academic publishers, professional societies, universities and scholarly organizations. Search results include citations from peer-reviewed journals, theses, papers, books and technical reports. For the most part, Google Scholar provides citation-only results. The full-text of an article or book can be accessed by using the Find it @ UTA link. If you are using Google Scholar off campus, you will need to set your ‘Scholar Preferences’ to University of Texas at Arlington.
Linking Google Scholar to UTA

On the page that follows, scroll down to the section labeled "Library Links," and enter University of Texas Arlington in the blank. Click "Find Library."
You'll then see two options for connecting to URI's Full Text databases. Check both boxes.
Scroll down to the bottom of the Google Scholar page and click on "Save Preferences." The next time you search, you'll be linked back to UTA to locate full text of documents.
