Configuration – University Library Erlangen-Nürnberg https://ub.fau.de Library of Friedrich-Alexander-Universität (FAU) Erlangen-Nürnberg and Regional Library for Central Franconia Mon, 23 Feb 2026 12:18:08 +0000 en-GB hourly 1 How do I use Google Scholar? https://ub.fau.de/en/faq/how-do-i-use-google-scholar/ Mon, 23 Feb 2026 12:18:06 +0000 https://ub.fau.de/?post_type=rrze_faq&p=40813 The academic search engine Google Scholar presents you articles from e-journals and printed media, both with and without a need to pay for access.
Through the linking service SFX, search results from Google Scholar are linked with licensed electronically available media from the University Library Erlangen-Nürnberg (UB), as well as printed media.

Google Scholar has to be set up and personalized for your use:
Access the subpoint „Settings“ via the menu symbol.
There, click on „Library links“.
Enter „Erlangen“ into the textbox.
Select „Universitätsbibliothek Erlangen-Nürnberg SFX@UB_FAU“, then „save“ the selection.

  • With articles from journals that the library has a license for, clicking the SFX button leads directly to the full text. This also works from home if you’ve identified yourself as a member of FAU via VPN.
  • With books, clicking the SFX button (which can be hard to find at first) will lead directly to the catalogue of the UB.
