Check for access to a web resource

If you find a journal article or other resource through a search engine, please be aware that we may not subscribe to it.

You might already know that you can search for an article title in LibrarySearch or for the title of the journal itself in our Find e-journals page. But we also provide tools that allow you to customise your web browser so you can check for access without going onto our webpages.

Google Scholar for Kent

You can customise Google Scholar to provide a link to any content you find that we subscribe to at the University.

In Google Scholar:

1. Click on the ‘hamburger’ menu and click Settings
2. Click Library links
3. Search for University of Kent
4. Tick boxes for ‘University of Kent – University of Kent’ and ‘University of Kent – Get full text via UoK’ and click Save.

This will save these settings to the browser on your computer you are using. Now when you search you will get links through to the content that we have access to from Google.
