Explanation of HvA-linker
HvA-linker is the link to full text articles that you can access via the AUAS Library. You can find AUAS linker in Google Scholar, Scopus and Web of Science.
Google Scholar
When searching with Google Scholar, as an AUAS student or employee you not only benefit from the full text deals that Google has with publishers, but also from the electronic journal subscriptions that the Library has concluded for the AUAS. If a search result contains the indication HvA-linker: Full text, you have direct access to the full digital version via the HvA.
How does it work?
If you work within the AUAS domain, you don't have to do anything extra. Google Scholar recognizes that you belong to AUAS and immediately adds the button AUAS-linker to the search results.
Outside the AUAS, you can set the AUAS as your library yourself:
- click on the 3 lines at the top left, and on Settings,
- choose left Library links,
- enter Amsterdam and click on the magnifying glass,
- tick "Hogeschool van Amsterdam" and click Save.
Scopus and Web of Science
In Scopus and Web of Science you will see the AUAS icons on the left in the search results when you work within the AUAS domain.
