I heard from my instructor that as a student of BYU-I, we have access to Google Scholar for free. Is this correct, and how do I get access to it?

• You are able to access Google Scholar for free no matter who you are, but some of the articles may require you to pay for memberships with that company. The school provides free access to many different databases on the McKay Library Database List. So, if you find an article you would like to read on Google Scholar, you can see if we provide free access to the specific database that is supplying that article and search for it there.
