Why can't I just Google It?

YOU CAN - if you do it the right way! 

The problem most students run into with Google is that they don't know how to limit their search or how they can access an article without paying. The trick is that you need to use Google Scholar and link it to the HACC Library. To do this you need to visit scholar.google.com and press the header menu button (displayed as three lines in the top left) and select "Settings" from the list. Once you are on the settings page you will choose "Library links" from the navigation menu. Search the box for "Harrisburg Area Community College" and add the libraries that come up. \

Once you connect Google Scholar to the HACC library you will be able to seamlessly access the journal articles that HACC provides access to from within Google Scholar!
