Library Out Loud

If you link Google Scholar to Massey Library, you get free access to the articles we have subscriptions for, instead of being asked to pay.  

We strongly recommend you take these steps to get as much full text access as possible:  

• Go directly to Google Scholar or use the Google Scholar link from a Library web page. 
  • If you see ezproxy.massey.ac.nz as part of the URL/address, you could get error messages. You may need to clear your cache, update bookmarks or take care with getting the correct URL https://scholar.google.com/ the first couple of times.

• Link to Massey Library. This will give you access to our subscribed articles through Google Scholar results. There are two ways to do this: 
  • Install the LibKey Nomad extension in your browser. This is the preferred method, as it links you to Massey, tries to find the article for you from a range of sources, and works on many other sites including Google. Get LibKey Nomad. 
  • Or go to the ‘hamburger’ icon at top left of Google Scholar and select ‘Settings’. Click on ‘Library links’. Search for Massey and tick the box next to ‘Massey University Library – Check for Full Text’. Click Save. 

• Sign in to your Google account if you have one. Signing in gives extra full text access. There are two ways to do this: 
  • Sign in to Google in your usual way, in the browser you are using for Google Scholar. 
  • Or go to the ‘hamburger’ icon at top left of Google Scholar and select ‘Settings’. Click on ‘Account’. Click on ‘Sign in’ and follow the prompts. Click Save. Do this in each browser you use for Google Scholar.
