Occasionally you may encounter an error with Google's bot detection software when using Google Scholar.
Typically you'll see a message like "ERROR for site owner: Invalid domain for site key", or "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network". You may also be presented with a reCAPTCHA challenge.
If you experience any of these errors while trying to access Google Scholar, please choose one of the options below:
- Bookmark and search Google Scholar from this page to find online resources the Library holds. Then
simply click on the findit@flinders link to retrieve your content. You will be prompted to enter your
FAN and password to access the resource if you're off-campus.
- Alternatively, you can link your Google account to Flinders Library, so the "findit@flinders" links will always
appear – even if you don't start your search from this page. Go to our customized settings screen
and
click Save.
If you're logged into a Google account, it will remember that setting from now on.
