The databases with the UMBC icon next to them are available off-campus. The other databases are available through College Park so you can only access them when you are at USG.
Library Links in Google Scholar
Before starting a search in Google Scholar, you can change the settings so that you will access articles to which your institution subscribes.
1. Once in Google Scholar, click on the menu icon in the top left-hand side of the screen. From the menu that appears, choose Settings.
2. On this page, click on Library Links in the menu on the left-hand side of the page.
3. Enter your university (University of Maryland, Baltimore County) in the search box and do the search. Check that box and click save.
4. This will then take you back to the search page on Google Scholar. When you do a search, the FindIT button should appear next to articles to which you have access. You only need to set this up once, not every time you go int to Google Scholar.
Cited Reference Searching
You can find related and more recent articles and resources in Google Scholar by clicking on "Cited by," located below an article or e-book of interest.
This short presentation will show you how to do a cited reference search in the Web of Science database. A cited reference search can help you find more recent research related to your topic, track new developments and examine the influence of a particular paper. Marcie Jacklin, a librarian at Brock University created this tutorial.
