Google Scholar and RIT Library Holdings

We have recently registered our Library's holdings at Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com/) which gives Google access to a file of our library's full-text holdings. Now patrons will be directed to the fulltext and our SFX menu whenever they search Google Scholar with a "more! @ RIT" link.

If you are coming from an RIT IP address, this should happen automatically. If you are coming from a non-RIT IP address, you will have to set RIT as the library in your Scholar preferences. How the link appears will vary, depending on whether or not Google determines we own the fulltext. If the fulltext is available, the link will appear in larger font, right next to the title.
