How can I link Google Scholar to Stockton's library so that my search results will connect to library databases content?
Answer
To have Google Scholar automatically identify full-text content accessible via Stockton Library databases, you must first configure Google Scholar to identify your personal web browser. To configure Google Scholar, complete the following steps:
- Log in to the goStockton web portal in your web browser.
- Using the same browser, navigate to Google Scholar and click on the menu button on the left side of the page. (screenshot)

- In the Library Links options page, search for "Stockton University" in the search box. Then, when a new check box appears below for Stockton University, check the box. (screenshot)
- Close the Settings menu and perform your Google Scholar search. When viewing your results, you will now see a link labeled "Get It @ Stockton" to the right of some results. Those items are available in full-text from a library database. Click on the link to connect to the item. (screenshot)
