In academic writing courses at FDU, you may (or are very likely to) be required to do research for articles and journals for your papers. FDU has support for many websites like SAGE and JSTOR where you can search for articles and view them with your FDU NetID so that you do not have to make your own accounts and pay for subscription fees.
Recently, I have noticed that many students, including me, use Google Scholar to search for research articles and journals, because Google Scholar can list various papers from different sources, hence better variety of content. However, the problem is that FDU does not have support for Google Scholar, meaning students cannot use FDU NetID to log into Google Scholar. It is a drawback, though, as I have noticed, many results from Google Scholar come from sites like JSTOR and SAGE, which are supported by FDU. Here, the inner problem is that students have to use FDU NetID to log into each site at least once after clicking the respective links on Google Scholar, and it is a time-consuming process because students have to enter their credentials again and again for each link from the result list from Google Scholar if the links have been opened continuously and students have not logged in before or the links are different from each other. It will be even worse in the case where students cannot sign in directly through the sites, instead, they have to go to FDU library list to search for the sites and log in, and then come back to the links and reload the links' pages in order to continue their work.
Now I will show you a way to eliminate this whole time-consuming thing while doing research on Google Scholar :)
How?
Go to this link and do your research. That's it!
More interesting things to come if I have free time :D
