Charles Darwin University Library links automatically show when you search Google Scholar on campus.

Full text @ CDU shows that full text is available. Open these links in a new tab or window so you can go back to the original search.

If you are off campus/at home you will need to tell Google Scholar to use CDU as your institution.

Go to Google Scholar and select Settings.  In the Library Links search box, enter 'Charles Darwin University'. Tick the box beside the name then 'save'. Searching at home should now indicate when the resource is available via CDU Library.

Alternatively, view this short video on YouTube to set up your preferences.
