Google Scholar, the Smart Way

To ensure seamless access to MSU resource subscriptions, please do the following:

• Before searching, click on "Settings" at the top right.
• At left, click on "Library Links" and search for Michigan State University Libraries.
• Select and establish MSU access.
• Do your search in Google Scholar.
• Click on the link for "MSU Access" that will appear to the right of the title of the resource.

You will then be prompted for your MSU NetID and password to access that resource.
Please note - if you click on the title and not the "MSU Access" link you won't be recognized as an MSU subscriber. "MSU Access" links will appear as long as you don't close your browser.
