Connecting Google Scholar to the TiU library

The best way to use Google Scholar is by connecting it to the TiU library’s resources. This connection maximizes your access to relevant (scholarly) literature for your academic assignment.

On campus

When you’re on campus using a study place or a mobile device connected to the Eduroam WiFi network, your Google Scholar searches will automatically display TiUfinder links.

Off campus

Accessing the library’s e-resources from off campus requires a little more effort.

1.  Use the EZproxy links in the database list

The simplest way to connect to TiU content is by using the EZproxy link to Google Scholar found in the library’s database list. This link includes all the necessary settings and guarantees off-campus access to full-text articles (TiU credentials required).  

2.  Set up a Google Scholar account

Alternatively, set up Google Scholar for an individual account by following these steps:

  • Go to Google Scholar
  • Click the menu icon in the top-left corner
  • Click "Settings" in the sidebar
  • Click "Library Links"
  • Type "Tilburg" into the search field and click the Search button
  • Tick the checkbox next to "Tilburg University Library – Fulltext via TiUfinder"
  • Then click Save

After logging in, you'll have seamless access to library resources – "Full text via TiUfinder" links will appear on the right side of your search results during that session. If you run into a paywall, we may not have a subscription for the content you need.

Please note  The TiUfinder often provides access to the full text if the library has a subscription, but not always – some publishers limit access to their journals through Google Scholar.
