| Description: |
Google Scholar is an easy-to-use, web-based database
that indexes and and searches peer-reviewed journal articles,
books, theses, preprints, and technical reports from all
broad areas of research. Although Google Scholar holds much potential, it should NOT replace BISON or subject-specific databases when conducting library research.
On-Campus Use
When you search
Google Scholar from on the UB campus it recognizes you are entitled
by licensing agreements to view full-text articles.
Off-Campus Use
If you are a current member of the UB community and using
Google Scholar from off-network, you should complete the following steps:

- Type University at Buffalo in the 'Library Links' section.
- Click Save preferences.
- Start searching.
- When you link to a full text article from off campus you will be presented with a log-in screen. Log in with your UBIT name and password.
