BrowZine is Now on the Web!

BrowZine is a tool that makes scholarly journals available in a visual, browsable format. BrowZine allows you to browse, read, organize, and keep up with the latest scientific journals.

With BrowZine you can easily browse hundreds of the Libraries’ subscribed journals by subject or by title. BrowZine allows you to organize your favorite journals on bookshelves so that the current issue is one click or tap away.

To open BrowZine, click the “E-Journals” link below the library’s OneSearch box:

To find a journal by title, do a search in OneSearch, and then click the “E-Journals by Title” link at the top right of the page.  This will redirect you to the old Journals A-Z list organized alphabetically by journal title:

Pendergrass Library Instruction

Are you teaching a class that requires a research paper? Do your students know where to start the research process? Librarians can help!  We offer library instruction on topics including:

• Search strategies: Brainstorming a topic, narrowing topics, building the search with keywords.
• OneSearch: Finding books, using call numbers, and accessing e-books.
• Databases: Demos of introductory databases, e.g., Web of Science, Google Scholar.
• Evaluating sources: What is a popular versus a scholarly source?
• EndNote or Zotero: Citation management software can help you save, organize, and cite sources.

We can work with you to build classes on customized topics. Library instruction works best when it is connected to an assignment and the learning outcomes of the course.

Request instruction from a Pendergrass librarian at https://www.lib.utk.edu/agvet/instruction/

EndNote Workshop

If you want to learn the basics of the citation management software, EndNote, sign up for the free workshop on Tuesday, October 4 from 3:30-5:00 p.m. in Hodges Library Room 211.   To sign up for the class, email endnote@utk.edu.

EndNote is a software program you can use to organize your citations and automatically generate them for your publications.  Zotero is an open source alternative to using EndNote.

Do you have a question about EndNote, or wonder whether EndNote or Zotero is right for you?  Librarians at Pendergrass are here to help!  Contact a librarian and ask for help using EndNote or Zotero.

To download and learn more about citation management software, visit the EndNote Guide and Zotero Guide. EndNote is free to all current UT students, faculty, and staff, and Zotero is free for everyone.
