Find Full Text, academic sources with the ease of Google searching. 

Looking for a way to find full text, academic sources quickly? Don’t just “google” it, use Google Scholar! Online search engines are designed for general information searches, background information, travel and shopping. Google Scholar uses Google's simple, clean interface to find scholarly articles, citations and case law. It even lets you know when full text is available from Mears! That means you can use it, with a few cautions, to search quickly online and access premium academic content from the library.

Here’s a quick list of what to expect with Google Scholar:

  • It feels like a search engine but works like a premium research database

  • It helps you “discover” citations for items, but may not provide links to full text articles

  • Look for Find @ Mears Library and use your MyUSF credentials to access premium content from journals
