Top 10 things NOT to miss in 2005 @ Your Library
10. Workshops
Several workshops are being offered, including Web of Science, Google Scholar, EndNote, and Metasearch. Faculty and Students are welcome; online registration.
Thinking of creating an assignment that involves library research? Want a place to send your students to learn about plagiarism or get basic tutorials on how to use the catalog and other library resources? The Teaching Library is your one stop shopping area for these types of tools.
8. Environmental Semester at the UT Libraries
The Libraries are holding several events for Environmental Semester and are taking this opportunity to promote our resources related to the Environment. To keep up with the Libraries' Environmental resources and events, see our Environmental Semester News page (RSS available).
Of particular note to Biology faculty and students is the E. O. Wilson Reading Group. Readings are online; the group will meet 3 times to discuss topics related to Wilson's writings. This is in preparation for Wilson's visit to UT on March 15. We hope we will get quite a few Bio faculty & students to participate in the reading group.
7. Finding Full Text while in Databases
Click the Find Text button while you are searching databases to see if the library carries a title. If it is available electronically, you can link to the article. If you do not see any links to the e-version, click the UT Catalogs link, which will run a search in our catalog and let you know if we own the title in print.
The e-journals list now includes listings for all of the titles that we have access to through full text databases such as Academic Search Premier, Factiva, & Lexis-Nexis. The list also includes Open Access titles and Open Access backfiles such as those in PubMed Centeral and DOAJ. If you know of an open access title, please let us know and we will add it. Speaking of Open Access, we are members of BioMed Central. If you would like more information on choosing an open access publisher, please let us know.
Using the citation linker, you can quickly link to a menu which will display electronic access and give you a link to run an automatic catalog search. Citation Linker gives you the menu that you would get if you were searching in a database and clicked the Find Text button.
This is exactly like the Citation Linker, except it allows you to get a url which you can then e-mail to others or post on your website or Black Board page. (note: the recipient would have to have access through his/her institution)
1. Enter relevant citation information into the OpenURL Generator.
Required Fields: Journal Title and/or ISSN, Volume, Year, and Starting Page.
2. Select "View OpenURL" in lower left corner of form.
3. Verify that the menu to be displayed presents the full-text option that you wish to share by clicking "Click here to connect to the SFX server"
4. Copy and paste OpenURL.
3. Library News now offered with RSS
The Libraries now have several news sites: General Library News, Sci-Tech News, Electronic Resources News, and Scholarly Communication News. Special Note: On SciTech News, I post a list of new articles by UT Science Faculty that I receive through weekly Web of Science alerts.
One great thing about our new News pages is that they offer RSS (Real Simple Syndication). RSS is an easy way to get updates automatically sent to you without having to revisit a page over and over to see if new content has been posted. For more information on subscribing to our News.
2. Instruction
Do you give your students assignments that include writing a paper or using information resources? We would be happy to tailor a session for your class-- as broad as a library orientation, or a narrow as particular database. We can visit your class or hold the session in the library, whichever you prefer.
1. Your Librarian
Have questions about library services, journal access, purchases, or student instruction? Please feel free to contact us with any questions, concerns or suggestions about the Library. We are here to support your teaching and research.
