Full summary

For GT students, by a GT student, GT Scholar facilitates accessing online journal articles.

Two options are provided:

  1. proxying the entire google scholar search pages through GT library, and
  2. adding direct 'proxified' links to articles

Unlike the "Find @ GT" option, GT Scholar links you directly to the journal's abstract page where you are typically one click away from the PDF.

Additionally, and optionally, GT Scholar enables Chrome to save your username and password natively at gthe GT CAS Login page; a feature that GT Login disables by default. To further clarify, the extension itself doesn't store anything; it just makes a minor edit to the login page's HTML at the right time so that Chrome can offer to save the username/password.

Our extension instantly recognizes if a paper is in a personal or shared library collection for instant access. No more downloading the same paper multiple times.

• If it’s a new addition to your library, save references and PDFs, if available, directly to a personal or shared collection within your library. No more random PDFs piling up in your download folder or desktop.

Hyperlinked inline references, annotation and drawing tools, streamed supplemental files, article metrics, high-res figure browser and more.
