Google Scholar (GS) is set up to resolve links to our e-journal subscriptions. Just log in to your Google account, open https://scholar.google.co.uk/ and set up your home institution as follows:

  • Select Google Scholar's "hamburger" or "tribar" menu (≡)
  • Select "Settings"
  • Select "Library Links"
  • Search for Brunel (may be displayed automatically on campus)
  • Select "Brunel University London - Full-Text @ Brunel"
  • Optionally, if required, set up your bibliography manager as RefWorks - see our web page at https://www.brunel.ac.uk/life/library/SubjectSupport/RefWorks and scroll down to the section "RefWorks By Database" for advice on how to export references from GS to RefWorks

Now, when GS returns your search results, you should see the link "Full-Text @ Brunel" on the right hand margin whenever we have a valid subscription to access the article. If your Brunel Sign In session is not running already, you would probably be prompted to log on before being taken to the article.

NB: the "Access resources off-campus" link on the Library home page is integrated with both our e-journals A to Z and our "article linker" or link resolver, ie the OpenURL linking system that underlies "Full-Text @ Brunel".
