Find Full Text

If you use Google Scholar during your research workflow, we recommend adding your Stanford affiliation to your Google Scholar account. After adding library links, you will see "Find it @ Stanford" and "Find it @ Stanford Med" links in your Google Scholar search results. Use these links to find full text copies of articles through our library resources. This is particularly useful when full text is not freely available online. 

It only takes a few moments to add library links to your Google Scholar account. Follow these steps to complete the one-time set-up process:

Step 1: Sign in to Google Scholar with your Google account

• Start by signing in to your Google account in the upper right corner if you are not already signed in. You can set up library links without signing in, but they will only be saved for your current search session. 

Step 2: Navigate to Library Links in the Settings Menu

• Open the menu in the upper left of the screen and select "Settings." 
• Then select "Library links" under the settings menu. 

Step 3: Search for Stanford and Save Settings

• Search "Stanford" to see relevant library access links.
• Check the box next to "Stanford University Medical Center - Find It @ Stanford Med" and "Stanford University - Find It @ Stanford"
• Select "Save" to enable these settings and return to the Google Scholar homepage.

Occasionally, some of the full text links are hidden on the Google Scholar results page. Choose the >> symbol to see additional full text links.
