EndNote is a bibliographic tool that helps you organized your citations. EndNote Web is a "cloud" version of EndNote and can be accessed from any computer with Internet access. To get started using EndNote Web, you must set up an account from a campus computer. Once you've done that, however, you can access from any Internet connection - on or off campus. Like EndNote, the web version works with Word and has a Cite While You Write (CWYW) application. It is easy to get started using. Keep in mind, however, that once you are no longer affiliated with CSU, your account will expire. Plan to transfer your EndNote Web citations to another tool such as Zotero.

Or... attend one of the Libraries free hands-on training sessions.

I've been getting this question alot lately, so as a refresher, here's how to do it.

From the Libraries homepage, go to the "Journals" link in the "Search" box. You can simply type the journal name, volume, issue, etc. here. Follow the links that will guide you to locating the article.

Another option is to go the Libraries A-Z list, scroll down to the "c's" and click on "citation linker." In this form, you can enter as much or as little info as you have (minimum journal title).

Either of these methods also allow you to locate journals in our collection.

Here is a brief video tutorial on how to locate an article or journal.

Google Docs is a great way to collaborate with others on a team on a project, paper, presentation, etc. Team members can be in the document editing at the same time while located across town, across the country.... anywhere with an internet connection. Here's a bit more about it:

Here is an interesting article from Inside Higher Ed on Open Access and steps that some universities are taking to facilitate the movement.
"Breakthrough on Open Access"
The article also provides some general information about Open Access and why the current publishing model of libraries paying high prices for journal subscriptions is unsustainable. If you'd like more information about Open Access, please see the SPARC website.

Have a good weekend!
