I don't usually use Google Scholar but have added some texts to my library that I have been unable to find elsewhere so I think I might find it useful. However, I don't really like reading things off the screen and it doesn't look like I can print anything either - am I missing something or is there no way of printing anything or saving it to my PC?

Thanks, Nx

hi Natassia

I'm pretty sure that if you are looking at a book on google scholar that you can't save and print, I presume 'coz Google want you to buy it somewhere!! Maybe the more technie people might know otherwise but as far as I know that's the situation. If you just want to print a few pages, one option is to take a screen shot and print that. It's not brilliant but it can be useful for one or two pages. You probably know how but in case not, hold down the ctrl button and then click the print screen button (usually somewhere at the top of your keyboard). Then in a word doc, right click and the paste option should be available.

If you're looking at a document that is fully available you should be able to print that. However, lots of articles you access via Google scholar are still restricted and only available if you have a subscription to that particular database or journal, or through your uni's electronic journals or databases.
