BLS Library Blog

If you use Google Scholar for research, you may have noticed that not all materials in your search results are freely available online – you might frequently hit paywalls or only have access to a portion of a resource you need. However, Google Scholar also allows you to link BLS Library's electronic resources, so that our full-text materials will display in your search results. No more frustrating research dead ends!

Follow these steps to link Google Scholar to BLS Library:

1. Navigate to https://scholar.google.com.
2. From the menu bar (three horizontal lines) in the upper left corner, select Settings.
3. Click Library links.
4. In the search bar, type Brooklyn Law School, then click the blue magnifying glass.
5. Tick the box next to Brooklyn Law School, then click Save.

To view full-text materials from BLS Library, click any hyperlink that reads “Full-Text @ BLS Library”.
