👉 Connect Google Scholar to MRU Library

What is Google Scholar?

Google Scholar is a free tool for finding academic articles, books, and other research. It includes both open-access materials and items you can access through MRU Library subscriptions.

Why connect it to MRU?

When you connect Google Scholar to MRU Library, your results will show Full-Text @ MRU Library links beside articles and book chapters that we have access to—so you can go straight to the PDF instead of hitting a paywall.

If something isn’t available, you can request it through Interlibrary Loan and we’ll get a copy for you.

How to connect

1. Go to Google Scholar.
2. Click the ☰ (three lines) menu at the top left and choose Settings.
3. Select Library Links. Search for Mount Royal University.
4. Check the box for Mount Royal University Library – Full-Text@MRU Library, then click Save.
5. Now when you search, look for Full-Text@MRU Library beside results to access items online.

Note: This works for electronic items only. It won’t show if MRU has a print copy.
