As some of you probably know, Google Scholar provides a simple, one-point means of conducting broad searches for scholarly literature across a multitude of disciplines and sources, mainly scholarly articles, but also theses, books, abstracts, and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, and universities.
Now the browser Google Chrome offers a clever, new feature: an extension that allows you to conduct a quick search in Google Scholar simply by marking or highlighting an article reference on your screen.
Marking is available for HTML-texts and PDFs opened in the browser.
The extension offers quick access to the full text article through CBS subscription databases.
Click for an example.
Download the Google Scholar button for free from the Google Chrome webstore or just google “Google Scholar button”.
To set up Google Scholar for full text, please see article “Google scholar – connection to CBS library content” in the earlier newsletter 2-2015.
