Getting Full Text

Follow the Find it button or Find It at UW Madison link in most databases to:

  • access online full text (when available)
  • see if the journal is available in print (MadCat)
  • request a free pdf of the article if full text is not available online (Request a Copy/Library Express)

If you already have a citation, use this do-it-yourself Find it form to search for your article.

 

Manage your References

Citation Managers such as RefWorks, EndNote, or Zotero are software tools for managing your citations. Citation Managers will help you:

  • Create and organize a personal research database
  • Download citations from online databases
  • Format bibliographies and citations in papers
  • Share your citations with others


  • RefWorks  
      
    RefWorks is web-based software for managing your citations. It is free to all faculty, staff and students at UW-Madison.
  • EndNote  
      
    EndNote is desktop citation management software that you can purchase from the DoIT Tech Store. It may be more appropriate if you are writing for publication.
  • Zotero  
      
    Zotero is a free Firefox plug-in that allows you to save citations, documents and copies of web pages. It's easy to learn, but not robust enough to support writing large documents.
  • Compare RefWorks, EndNote and Zotero
