Steps:
- Visit Library homepage, switch to the Articles tag.
- Click on Google Scholar@PolyU. Sign in with your NetID and NetPassword if you are out of campus.
- Conduct a search in Google Scholar. The article within our collection will be provided with the "PolyU eLinks" option, which allows you to access full-texts from the Library.

Alternatively, you may change the setting in your Google Scholar to link it up with Library subscribed databases. This is identical to clicking on Google Scholar@PolyU via Library homepage.
