Full Text Tools

Google Scholar is one of the most comprehensive academic search engines in the world. It facilitates access to scholarly full text using a Library link that connects Google Scholar with NTU Library. Once connected, look out for "Find it @NTU Library" next to the search results. You may also install the Google Scholar Button browser extension.
