Accessing Full Text

Two of the most popular ways to find articles and books are Google Scholar and Library OneSearch. The library also offers hundreds of research databases which will link to fulltext. Starting at the library web site will ensure access to full text. Google Scholar and OneSearch have additional steps needed to access fulltext.

2. Under Settings, select Library Links.
3. In the search box type quinnipiac, which will then select linking for Quinnipiac licensed resources.

Google Scholar settings for Library links, with Quinnipiac University and Full-Text@Quinnipiac U selected.

With these settings you'll now see options for all Full Text available to you as a member of the Quinnipiac community. 

2. Library OneSearch

The library provides a very broad Google-like search of books and journals called OneSearch, which is available from the library's homepage. To make OneSearch run optimally the library urges you to set up a MyEbsco Account. This will enable you to get full text and also place holds on books in the collection.

3. Expedited Delivery

Sometimes the library doesn't have an article or book you need. We offer interlibrary loan at no charge to you. We also have an Expedited Delivery service for faculty which will bring you articles within an hour. as opposed to a one-to-two-day turnaround time for traditional ILL.  Articles are delivered as PDF to your email, and you are not charged. If you want to make use of expedited delivery please let us know so we can set up an account for you.
