It's easy! Just follow these steps.

1. Go to Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com) and click the menu bars on the top left

2. Choose the Settings option.

3. Click on the Library links option on the left.

4. Search for Boise State University and select the two check boxes for:  

• Boise State University - Find It at Boise State (to see the Find It links in Google Scholar and link to full text articles) &
• Open WorldCat - Library Search (to link to records of books owned by the Library).

Then click the save button.

5. Now every time you search Google Scholar, you'll see links to Find it at Boise State.

Click on the Find it at Boise State link instead of the publisher's link. Albertsons Library subscribes to (purchases) content and provides you access for free! Why pay to purchase from a publisher when Albertsons Library gets you access for free?
