Not all content retrieved in a search is available full-text.
Google Scholar This link opens in a new window
Google Scholar can be a useful tool when conducting research. Accessing Google Scholar from the Library website will link to library resources available to you as a Texas State student. If you do not use the library link for off campus access, you won't be able to access library-subscribed content.
To set your browser to always access Texas State full-text content, locate Settings in Google Scholar, navigate to Library Links, and search for Texas State University-San Marcos -Findit@TxState. Select this and any other resources you would like to access, then Save.
