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.

For more information, view the free online tutorials at http://www.endnote.com/training

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

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.

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.

This website allows you to freely see salary and interview information as well as reviews from folks that work in those companies. This information is all confidential - the only caveat is that in order to view the information, you have to submit info about your employer. Read more info about it here:

While much of the company information is typical of what's available on other finance sites such as Yahoo Finance and Google Finance, the "people" and in particular the board relationship info, is valuable - info that is usually difficult to locate elsewhere. And, private company information is also available. According to Business Week, information is available on over 42,000 public companies and 320,000 private companies in the U.S. and internationally.
