How do I set up Google Scholar to show Leeds Beckett resources?

Using this guide

This guide is designed as a starting point for exploring Business research sources. If you need advice about where to look you can email your librarians.

In each tab, you'll find subscription information sources which have been selected by your tutors as the very best place for research in that area. In addition to these, there are thousands of other books, journals, research articles, and videos that are available to you via the following links:

Discover
Discover is your academic search engine, which searches over 90% of resources available from Leeds Beckett Library. These resources include books from the Library Catalogue and most electronic journals and databases. Discover is a great place to start your research.
Databases
Databases are tools, often focused on a specific subject area or profession, which allow you to search for high quality information. You can use databases to find research articles.
Journals A-Z
Journals are published on a regular basis e.g. weekly, monthly or quarterly and as such provide a good source of up to date information. Journals contain more specialised information about subjects than books, so you will need to use them as your academic interests develop. Most of your journals are available online on or off campus.
Library Catalogue
The Library Catalogue can be used to find books, eBooks, and journals that are only available in print.
