Accessing Articles from Google Scholar
If you find an interesting abstract or citation in Google Scholar and you'd like to read the entire article, you may be able to get the article through Mason Libraries. Mason Libraries provides access to many of the articles you'll find on Google Scholar. Look for the Find It@GM link to the right of the citation or below it.
Or: 
Setting Your Google Scholar Preferences to Display Find It@GM links
Links to Find It@GM now automatically show up when you use Google Scholar on campus. In order to see these links from off campus, you must edit your Google Scholar preferences. Follow these instructions to set up Google Scholar to automatically link to Mason Libraries from off campus.
- Go to Google Scholar and click on Scholar Preferences.
- Search for George Mason University Libraries in the "Library Links" section.
- Check the box next to "George Mason University Library - Find It@GM" (You may also check the George Mason Univ - EBSCOhost Full text and Full Text@IngentaConnect, but this is not necessary).
