You can configure Google Scholar to link to resources available through the library, making it easier to find what you need. This can be done by selecting "Scholar Preferences" and then doing a search on "UCO" in the "Library Links" search box. You will want to check the "University of Central Oklahoma- **Get it at UCO Library**" option and then save your preferences.

Now, you are ready to search. If you see the **Get it at UCO Library** link next to a record, there is a great chance that we have access to the article. Just click on the link to find it. Sometimes you will see a, "Check UCO Library" link. We often have access to these articles as well. Just click on the link to find out. If we do have access you will see it in the menu. If we don't have access, you will find other options here. And, if you get stuck you can ask us!
