How do I obtain full-text articles while searching Google Scholar?

Answer:

Google Scholar is used to find information on research topics from the scholarly literature. To obtain full-text journal articles licensed by the University of Virginia Libraries (as well as publicly accessible full-text articles) through Google Scholar, configure Google Scholar to use Find This@UVa links in your search results.

Step by Step:

Visit the Google Scholar page, enter your topic in the search box, in this case, heart disease, then click Search.
Locating the full-text article may involve several steps. First, click the title of the article. If a free version of the article is available, it will appear, or you will be given a link to a PDF.
If the full text does not appear automatically, you will need to set Google Scholar to recognize your affiliation with UVa. Click on Scholar Preferences in the upper right corner of the screen.
Scroll down to Library Links. Type University of Virginia in the search box, and click on Find Library. Check the box next to University of Virginia Libraries, UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA - ProQuest Fulltext, and Open WorldCat - Library Search. Click on the Save Preferences button at the top right of the screen.
Now your search results will display a Find This@UVA Libraries link next to your results.
Click on the Find This@UVa Libraries link to find the Get Article link for the article of interest, or a link to the UVa Library Catalog to check availability in our print collection.
