Get journal articles using Google Scholar

Google Scholar often provides links to full-text articles. To give you access to even more articles, we have implemented the "Library Links" feature which gives you seamless access from Google Scholar to articles in our collection. If it is not already activated on your browser, see the steps below.

How to activate Library Links

  1. Use this link, or
  2. Go to the Scholar Settings page
  3. Type "INSEAD" under "Library Links" and select: INSEAD - Get it at INSEAD
  4. Save your preferences
  5. When viewing the search results, follow the "Get it at INSEAD" link on the right-hand side to go directly to the full-text
  6. If this is not displayed, click on "More" underneath the reference, then on "Check availability @INSEAD" which allows you to order the article from the Library using a prefilled form

Please keep in mind

After viewing the full-text, you may need to double-click on the "back" button to return to your Google Scholar results. Sometimes just one click will not work. 

Not all our subscribed content is available using this feature, due to publisher restrictions. Use Journal Finder and the academic literature databases to find all the articles in the Library's collection.

Search for Library Books Using Google Search

The Library Catalogue is the main tool for finding books. But you can also search for books directly in Google by typing your keywords followed by the words librarycatalogue (all one word) and insead.

The resulting link will lead you directly to the book’s record in the catalogue, where you can check the book’s location, call number and table of contents.

Please note that Google's spell-check sometimes interprets these keywords as a typing error; if so, just click on the suggestion which searches 'librarycatalogue' as one word:

Tips

This feature works best when your keywords are as specific as possible:

  • avoid broad words (such as 'management')
  • add the author's name to the title keywords, if you know it
  • use quotes around your keywords if they are an exact title
  • for advanced searches, use the Library Catalogue

Please contact us if you need help with these tools or with finding Library resources.
