If you've saved Google Scholar in your library links, or accessed through the database, or accessed it from a bookmark, you will be prompted to login with your Moodle credentials.  Your address bar or url should then look like this:

https://scholar-google-com.fgul.idm.oclc.org/

Access through the library

Another way to access Google Scholar is through the the library's 'Databases' list.  Once you've done this, you can bookmark it for future use. 

Click on the 'Journals, Books and Databases' link under the default 'Research' tab on the main Library Service page:

Google Scholar can be a useful tool in your research repertoire. Learn how and when to use it to your best advantage.

The advantage of using one of the ways described to access Google Scholar is that you are authenticated (because you will prompted to login with your Moodle account) as a Fielding Graduate University student and can then access the resources in our collection directly from your Google Scholar search.

When you look up an article title, if we have the resource in one of our databases, you'll see a "Full-text" or "Full-Text @ Fielding" link on the right side of the results page:
