Using Google Scholar

A resource is available via Google Schoalr in full-text if you see "PDF", "HTML" or "DOC" before a URL to the right of the record information:

If you need access to a resource in Google Scholar that is not available online in full-text, you can request it through interlibrary loan. Email a librarian to make an interlibrary loan request. Note that interlibrary loan for physical books is only available to students who are able to pick up and return books in person. If this isn’t an option for you, Meadville Lombard is also a member of several library organizations that provide borrowing privileges at seminary libraries in the Midwest and around the country, and we can help you find the book locally. Articles requested via interlibrary loan will be emailed as a PDF file.

When placing an interlibrary loan request, provide as many bibliographic details about the resource that you know to make it easier for the library to locate:

Books: title, author, publisher, date of publication, edition, ISBN

Articles: article title, author, journal title, volume and issue number, date of publication, page numbers

Selecting the star icon beneath an item's result listing will save to "My Library" if you are signed in to an email account:

Access the records you save by selecting "My Library" from the upper right corner of Google Scholar:

You can manage individual articles in your library by selecting icons beneath the item listing:

1. Cite: Select the quotation marks to view or export the citation in any of the main citation styles.

2. Label: Select the price tag icon to add a self-defined label to the item record. You have the ability to create and edit labels used in "My Library." This is a useful feature if you are doing research for multiple projects and want to categorize the resources you are finding with Google Scholar.

3. Delete: Select the trashcan icon to delete the record from "My Library."

4. Edit: Select the pencil icon to edit the bibliographic information for the resource if you have additional or more accurate information to add.

5. Related articles: Select "Related articles" to view additional resources related to the selected item record.
