Google Scholar's Library Links program enables libraries to include links to their resources in Google Scholar results lists in order to increase their discoverability. Library Links works best for electronic resources, such as journal and conference articles. For more information on Library Links, visit http://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/ libraries.html.
