Google Scholar

If you are using a computer connected to the University network, Google Scholar recognizes your IP address, and sets NUI Galway as your default library preference. If you are off-campus, you must set NUI Galway as your library preference:
- On the Google Scholar search page, click on the Scholar Preferences link to open the Preferences page.
- In the Library Links search box type NUI Galway and click on Find Library.
- Check the box next to NUI Galway.
- Scroll down the page and click the Save Preferences button.
Download this handy .pdf guide on Off Campus Access & Google Scholar for assistance setting up Google Scholar to work with the Library's content for better results.
Note:
- you can set up to two additional library preferences, if you have access to other libraries.
- you can also set up a link to download citations to your preferred bibliographic management software, such as EndNote.
Scopus
Scopus is the only resource which requires an extra step for off-campus access. This guide can help: Scopus Off-Campus Access
