Use: http://scholar.google.co.uk.ezproxy.liv.ac.uk/


When you are using Google Scholar make sure that you use the University of Liverpool EZproxy version at: http://scholar.google.co.uk.ezproxy.liv.ac.uk/
Using this will ensure that you are logged in via EZproxy with your MWS username and password and will be authenticated to access resources included in Google Scholar that the Library subscribe to.

Do remember though that:
  1. Sometimes links will break and there may be a resource the Library does actually have but Google Scholar can't link to it - always check the e-journal catalogue for the journal title if it's something you really want.
  2. Google Scholar does not index everything! There will be resources that are available in the Online Library that Google Scholar won't include. So always use both for a thorough search.
  3. Google Scholar doesn't define exactly what it means by 'scholarly literature' so, as with any source, always evaluate it before you use it in your research. These evaluation tips might be helpful.
If you have any questions please get in touch.
