Brandeis Libraries Partner with Google Scholar in Pilot Project

Brandeis is joining with 20 other libraries in a pilot project to provide access to full-text articles licensed by Brandeis Libraries via Google Scholar. Other participating libraries include Harvard, MIT, Yale, and Stanford.

Google Scholar, launched in November 2004, searches peer-reviewed articles, books, article preprints, and technical reports. Sources include undisclosed academic publishers, university and professional society publications, preprint repositories, and scholarly articles available freely on the web.

Here’s how the pilot works for on-campus Brandeis users: in Google Scholar a GetIt @ Brandeis link appears when there is a match with material accessible through Brandeis. For off-campus use, we will soon have a prominent link on our website leading off-campus users to Google Scholar and the GetIt @ Brandeis link.

Please keep in mind this is a pilot project. The service is in an early stage of development. We will continue to work with Google Scholar to increase and improve access to information and keep the Brandeis community informed.
