Quick Start
Library Search connects you to books, articles, and a variety of other library sources.
Library Search at Rowan University Libraries
Includes all of the Libraries physical collections and most digital resources. To find books use Rowan's Library Search and limit the material type to Books. You can do this either from the Advanced Search page (use the Material Type drop-down menu on the right) or from a search results page (use the Resource Type limiter).
Literature Searches using Google Scholar
We recommend that you use the specialized subscription databases on the library website to search for scientific literature (papers) because you will see only content that the library subscribes to.
However if you prefer to use Google Scholar, you can create a Google Scholar profile with your Rowan University credentials, which will give you access to the library's subscription content.
Then when you search in Google Scholar, you will see links to the right of some results labeled Full Text @Rowan University. Selecting one of these links will take you to the subscribed content.
