Google Scholar
Add “Northwestern” to your “Google Scholar Preferences” to get access to journal articles we own. If you are off campus, you must use a VPN client.
On a search result screens in Google Scholar you may ask you to pay for articles. Instead of choosing this option, click on the "Find It @ NU" button to discover Northwestern’s no-charge alternatives, or contact the library by phone at (847) 491-7656, e-mail, or in person.
Google Scholar may recommend books that are not at Northwestern. If you would like us to get them for you, contact Interlibrary Loan. We may also have far more books and other resources on a topic than Google Scholar says we do. So for additional research, check NUcat—or contact us.
Google Scholar is a good place to start your research, but it does not search the hundreds of in-depth specialist databases we own. Go to our ER: Electronic Resources site for access to all our electronic resources, or visit the Library’s research guides for a subject-by-subject overview of our resources.
Contact the library if you have any questions at 847- 491-7656, by e-mail, or in person.
