Links to Google Scholar on the Libraries websites use software called EZproxy to provide off-campus access to full text subscriptions. EZproxy assigns all computers the same IP address. During times of heavy usage, this occasionally causes Google to misinterpret searches as being made by a robot and block access. There are a couple of options to resolve the problem.
Try deleting the browser cache and cookies, close the browser session, wait 10–15 minutes, and start a fresh browser session. In some cases this has worked.
Use the generic Google Scholar URL and add TAMU Libraries to the Google Scholar settings.
Go to Google Scholar, https://scholar.google.com, and click on the “Settings” icon just under the black bar.
Click on “Library links” in the left-side navigation.
If you are within a recognized TAMU IP range (probably on campus) you may see “Texas A&M University – Full text@TAMU” selected along with “Open WorldCat – Library Search.”
If not, search for Texas A&M University – Full text@TAMU in the search box, select it and save the change.
The computer/device should remember these settings.
To access full text, select the Full text@TAMU link or the free content links on the right side of the page; the hyperlinked titles will not recognize an affiliation with Texas A&M University even after you have logged into EZproxy to access Full text@TAMU. The hyperlinked titles don’t pass through our proxy.
