Google Scholar & Murphy Library
Although we recommend beginning your research with library resources, Google Scholar is an easily accessible gateway to scholarly research articles, many of which Murphy Library licenses for use by the UW-L community. To that end, we are now making our library holdings available to Google Scholar.
For on-campus users, effective immediately, Google Scholar results will now include links to either full text resources (via GetTeXt) or links to GetTeXt Services. The GetTeXt Services Menu will provide a quick way to submit interlibrary loan requests for items to which we do not have access, and quick access to an email help form.
Following are examples of results from Google Scholar:
