Other strategies for Finding Journal Articles and Books

• Search for known items listed in the references cited in article PDFs and in print books and eBooks

• Search for "known" print books and eBooks by title or author in the Libraries Books & media catalogue

• Search for "known" journal articles by title of article in Web of Science, or Summon, or Google Scholar.

Searching Summon (Search box on Libraries home page)

• keyword searching

• "known item" searching

• refining a search

• reading the Preview

• saving items to the temporary "Saved items " folder

• connecting to the full text or PDF

Exporting Summon journal article references to EndNote

For Summon there is a four-step process

1: save references to the Saved items folder

2: open the Saved items folder

3: export the references to EndNote 

4: save the exported file to the desktop or the download folder or somewhere to will find it later. [the file extension will be .ris]

Importing the saved file from Summon into  EndNote.

Open EndNote

Under the Collect tab select Import References

Browse your computer to find the .ris file exported from Summon and "open" it

For the Import Option, click on the arrow, scroll down the list and select Proquest

For the To tab , select the EndNote folder where you wish to place the references being imported form Summon,

Click on the Import tab an the Summon references will be imported into EndNote

Open the Summon folder to see the references imported

Searching Google Scholar and exporting journal article references to EndNote

• Perhaps the easiest strategy is to cut and paste the title of the article found in Google Scholar into Summon, or the Web of Science, and export the article reference fom WOS or Summon as outlined above.

Search Journal websites and exporting journal article references to EndNote

• Some journal websites may offer an export option to EndNote. The procedure is likely similar to the multi step process outlined above for Summon, where you export a .ris file and then import the .ris file into EndNote
