Google Scholar and being asked to pay to view an article

If you are prompted to pay for article access, you may be on a commercial publisher's site.  Check if the library provides free access to the article via one of our journal or database subscriptions.  You are able to do this in Google Scholar by setting up Full Text@Griffith links in Google Scholar.   

The Full Text@Griffith link appears next to a result when the item is available in full text via our Griffith library subscriptions. If you are using the Griffith network to connect to Google Scholar, these links appear automatically.  Alternatively, if you are accessing Google Scholar directly on the web, you can set up the Full Text@Griffith links.
