If you need help on using Library resources for online learning, please contact the library at 757-823-8517.
While learning online, check out the links below:
While we recommend accessing our online resources via the Library's website, there are a number of tools we recommend to help you locate material when you're working off-campus:
You can set up the ‘Library Links’ function in Google Scholar so that it will recognize when the Lyman Beecher Brooks Library has subscribed access to an article and provides a “Find Full Text” article link.
Here's how to do it:
1. Go to Google Scholar
2. Click on the Menu button
3. Click on the Settings gear
4. Select Library Links, and then select "Norfolk State University Library" and "Open WorldCat Library Search" under the search bar
5. Note that the University’s Library is for students, staff, and faculty affiliated with NSU.
6. Click "Save"
7. Now, when you search Google Scholar, you will see a "Full-Text @ Your Library" link next to any subscription resources that we have access to through LBB
You will need to configure the Google Scholar settings in each browser you use to search Google Scholar.
