Library Guide to Finding Articles

Google Scholar and PubMed are popular search engines for scholarly publications. While these resources are openly available on the web, the library has made customizations so each works with OneSearch to provide full text and other services from the library. Users may wish to access the UM customized versions to streamline their research experience.

Google Scholar

Use this link to be recognized as a UM user.

“Link to Article @UM” displays on a record when a match to a library collection is found.

Please refer to the guide Google Scholar at University of Montana for alternate instructions on how to configure Google Scholar in the event the custom link above does not recognize you as a UM user and does not display the expected  "Link to Article @UM" links. The guide also offers instructions on creating a Google Scholar profile if of interest.

Note: The UM links in Google Scholar are updated once per week and are not live. As a result, the library system shows more current availability information.

Google Scholar is also available as an External Search from OneSearch. Clicking the link will transfer the keywords you entered in OneSearch and launch a search in Google Scholar.

Please see Google Scholar for other tips.

PubMed

Use this link to be recognized as a UM user.

The maroon and white “University of Montana” button displays on all records regardless of the availability status at the library.

Note regarding publisher links

Google Scholar and PubMed may display direct links to publisher content, as shown in the examples below.

These links may not work for you, because:

• The content is behind a paywall and the library does not have a subscription.
• The library has a subscription, but you must be properly recognized by passing through UM authentication services.

Using the links to library full text described in detail above will help you to authenticate and find full text services.
