An even more "academic Google" is Google Scholar, which you can use to find scholarly articles.

If you are logged in on campus or using a Woodbury campus computer, Google Scholar automatically searches articles in Woodbury's databases.

If you are off-campus, you will have to manually "log in" to enter Woodbury as the institution you're searching with Google Scholar.

To do this:

Select the three bars in the upper left corner of Google Scholar and select "Settings."
Then in the list on the left side select "Library Links"
From here you can search "Woodbury" and select the options that says "Woodbury University Library - Full Text @Woodbury."
Make sure the box is checked off before clicking the blue "save" button at the bottom of the page.

Now you're ready to use Google Scholar and see what resources are available at Woodbury University Library!
