Using Google Scholar, you can find materials in Fuller's library, other libraries participating in the global library catalog WorldCat, full-text links to journal articles available through Fuller library subscriptions, and other materials on the web that have been indexed by Google Scholar. 

To activate Google Scholar Library Links, follow these steps.

1. Go to the Google Scholar search page at http://scholar.google.com.
2. Click on the menu button located at the top left corner represented by three horizontal bars, and then click on Settings represented by a gear icon.
3. Click on Library links, type in Fuller Theological Seminary, and then search.
4. Include (check) Open WorldCat, Find it @Fuller Libraries, and any additional links with our library collections in the search results, then click the "Save" button. 

The references to our catalog, selected databases and some full text articles will be suggested through Find it @Fuller libraries link on the right hand side of the citation:

To access information about the item, click on Find it @Fuller Libraries. 

Click on All versions, to view any other instances of the search results. 

When a PDF icon is available, you may be able access a document through the [PDF] link. To access an article in our databases you might be prompted to sign in with your Fuller ID and password. 

Using the same process outlined above, you can add more library links to discover items in other libraries, up to 5 libraries. 

Google Scholar is a fairly flexible tool for conducting searches across the catalog and databases. For complex and in depth searching, we recommend that you search specific databases.
