Find ITP Library Content through Google Scholar

Google Scholar is a great resource for finding bibliographic information and sometimes even full text, but did you know you can access ITP Library content right from Google Scholar? All it takes is setting a preference!

First, log into your gmail or myitp.itp.edu account. Then go to Google Scholar. Click on Scholar Preferences at the upper right hand corner. Look for the Library Links section and type in the word transpersonal and click on the Find Library button.

Checkmark all the non-greyed results:

Show library access links for (choose up to three libraries):

Open WorldCat - Library Search

Institute of Transpersonal Psychology - E-resources @ ITP Library

Then click on the Save Preferences button at the upper right. From then on, you will see Google Scholar article citations with a E-Resources @ ITP Library link where available; clicking on the E-Resources link will take you to the ITP Library Database Login page. From there, you might link directly to the full article or you may need to click on the Display more details link for more information.

Check out the Library Links page or talk to a librarian for more information.

Tracking Down a DOI

The most recent edition of APA style relies heavily on the use of DOIs for journal articles. The DOI or Digital Object Identifier is sometimes hard to find. In an earlier post, we recommend a few ways to find it. For a few more options:

• Search Google Scholar for the citation
• Check out crossref.org's Free DOI Lookup

Example: A quick search of Google Scholar yielded a link to my article on the journal publisher site: Indigenous and Cultural Psychology: Understanding People in Context: A Book Review from the Transpersonal Psychology Perspective
The DOI is actually found in two places on the page.

You always email a librarian for a more ideas! There are still lots of articles that don't yet have a DOI, so please consult the Publication Manual for information about how to cite the article in question after trying to find the DOI.
