Optimizing Google

Have you set your Preferences on Google Scholar? Doing this takes a moment, and allows Google to better help link you through to the fulltext of articles.

Google Scholar often will take you directly to the fulltext by clicking on an article title. Sometimes, however, the article is available from multiple sources - Fondren may have the article available at a source other than the one listed in Google Scholar.
Instructions:

when you're in a fullscreen search of GoogleScholar, look to the right of the search box for "Scholar Preferences" and click there
look for the section on "Library Links" and use the search box to find the entries for Rice University, Fondren Library (there are several - chose all of them for the best results)
Save your preferences and return to searching

You now will be able to Click on either "Check Fondren Holdings" or "Fulltext @ Fondren" to see if the article is available from another Fondren database than the one Google Scholar has chosen to point to.

Remember, this is still only a finding aid - please see our remote access instructions for assistance in obtaining fulltext access when away from campus.

Finding Articles

Use indexes to find references to research articles and to other materials such as books, book chapters, dissertations, etc. In some cases, links to the full text are provided. When links are not available, use the E-Journal Portal to find access points for journals in electronic format. Some subscriptions are in paper format only; check Webcat to search for journals not found online. For indexes in other subject areas, see Fondren's list of Indexes and Databases.
