Use Google Scholar

Your Goal: Open Google Scholar from inside ALADIN in order to 'turn on' all the links to the full text of articles.

Step 1
Go to ALADIN at http://aladin.wrlc.org.  (If you're off campus, log in as required.)

Step 2
On the ALADIN home page, click on 'Databases by Title'. (It's in the middle column.)

Step 3
On the next page a small horizontal alphabet will open. Click on the letter "G".

Step 4
On the next page, scroll down to Google Scholar and click on it to open it.

Step 5
Search for your topic using Google’s basic or advanced search. To find the full text when it is available:

1. Click on the FindIt@GWU Libraries link next to the result you want.
2. On the new page, click on the "Go" button to get the full-text article online or to find the book in the ALADIN catalog.
