Google Scholar

Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature from academic publishers, professional societies and pre-print archives.

Why should I connect?

When you search Google Scholar on ACU computers, or through ACU Wi-Fi, you are automatically connected to library resources. This means you get instant access to the full-text if it is available.

If you are off-campus (at home, away from campus or using a device not connected to ACU Wi-Fi), this does not happen.

You will need to do a one-time connection of Google Scholar to ACU Library to continue to get access to library subscribed full-text content.

What about privacy?

Google Scholar does not require a personal account. However, to understand how Google captures and uses your information please check the Google privacy policy.

1. Go to Google Scholar
2. Click on the 3 line menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top left corner
3. Click Settings
4. Click Library links
5. Search for and select Australian Catholic University - FindIt@ACU by ticking the checkbox
