When you find an article in Google Scholar search results, click on the link to "Full Text @ American U" to the right of the citation.
- If AU has access to the article from a single provider, the article will open
- If AU has access to the article from multiple sources, the AU Library Search record open and you can click on any of the links there to access the article
- "[PDF]..." links will also often (but not always) give you access to full text.
If there are no links in Google Scholar, AU Library may still provide access to the article:
- Click on the quotation marks link underneath the Google Scholar citation
- Make note of the article citation information, including author, article title, journal title, publication date, and journal issue date, volume, and/or number, and page numbers
- Visit the library homepage, https://www.american.edu/library/
- Look in the column entitled Research Resources and click on the link to "Find Journals"
- Search for the journal title there
- Click on the journal title in the results list
- Visit the link that lists the appropriate coverage dates
- Search for the article on the journal's webpage
- If a search for the article title or author is unproductive, try browsing to the appropriate year, volume, and issue
