• Google Scholar
  Google Scholar searches a subset of the Web that Google has classified as "scholarly literature". They do not publish a list of chosen sites, and they do not state how often sites are checked. Some important sources are not covered at all. Thus, Google Scholar alone should not be relied on for comprehensive research.
  
  By accessing Google Scholar as a UNB Libraries user, you benefit from technology that lets on-campus and off-campus users connect directly to full-text articles in journals to which UNB subscribes. Just click on the blue Title link in the Google result list.
  
  To still view UNB Libraries' holding on-campus or off-campus through Google Scholar, use the following steps:
  
  - Follow link above or go to https://scholar.google.com/ to ensure bypassing the proxy login.
  - Click the three lines in the top left corner.
  - Click Settings.
  - Click Library Links.
  - Search for University of New Brunswick, check the box next to the result, and save your settings.
  
  You can now continue to search and should see the Check for Fulltext @ UNB links next to articles and books we have access to.
