What You Need to Know

Google Scholar is a subset of Google. Google Scholar searches webpages of journal publications and individuals for scholarly journal articles. When you search Google Scholar on any of the Commonwealth U campuses, Scholar recognizes that you are affiliated with CU and adds links to Commonwealth University's subscriptions to journals and other resources in your search results (note the Full-Text @ CU feature). If you are not on campus, Scholar does not provide links to LHU Libraries' resources.

If you off-campus, you can configure your off-campus computer to link to these resources by going to Google Scholar Preferences, searching Library Links for Lock Haven University, and selecting Lock Haven University (Full-Text @ LHU Libraries). Keep in mind that Stevenson Library's paid subscription databases will get you most of the same full text articles as Google Scholar, but through a more precise and efficient search engine.
