Many researchers like to use Google Scholar to look for articles. If you are one of those people, I'll let you in on a little secret: Google will often send you to publisher websites that want you to pay for the article. But, you are a Commonwealth University researcher, so you have access to full text from the library for FREE.
How to tell Google Scholar you are affiliated with CU:
- Go to Google Scholar.
- In the upper left under the hamburger menu, choose Settings.

- Click on Library Links
- Search for and then select Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania - Commonwealth U Full Text. Click on Save.

- Now when you search Google Scholar, some results will look like this. Notice the Commonwealth U Full Text option. Click on that to be taken to the library's free access point. You may be asked to login with your university credentials.

- Final Note: The library doesn't have access to everything. But that doesn't mean you need to pay for articles! If there is an article you want that is behind a paywall, place an ILLiad request for it, and we will get it for you for free.
