Setting up Tools
Some tools are available from the library which will support your access to materials and make it easier to get full-text. However, these tools require set up on individual browsers and accounts. These tools will save you a tremendous amount of time and effort. Please install them at the outset of your research.
- Google Scholar Library Links
- LibKey Nomad
Find directions to set up these tools below.
