New Output Style and Connection File

A customized output style for the journal, Bovine Practitioner has been developed by our Veterinary Sciences Librarian, Andrea Dinkelman and myself and has been uploaded as a customized style into ISU’s EndNote Web site.  It should be noted that this file has been customized for the reference types of books, journal articles, and generic.  If you are using it and have references in the conference proceedings, book section, or other format types additional customization may be required.   Also, this style uses journal abbreviation rather than the full journal title, so some customization of the individual references may also be required. 

I have also uploaded an updated connection file for searching for books and materials within the ISU Library Catalog into EndNote Web.

I hope to add this customized output style to the EndNote LibGuide for EndNote users soon.

Let me know if you have any questions or require a customized output style.

Thanks – Stephen

More about this add-on

This add-on is a plugin for the research sources management tool Zotero, which is also a Firefox extension. The add-on automatically fetches number of citations of sources from Google Scholar and makes it possible to sort your sources by citations. Moreover, it allows batch updating of citations as they may change over time.
Currently, Zotero doesn't have any special field for the number of citations, that's why it is stored in the field "Call Number". To sort by this field you have to add it in the source listing table.

Academic reference management software for researchers | Mendeley

Academic reference management software for researchers | Mendeley 

 

Couldn't remember how to spell this the other day for my workshop and thought I had mentioned it in my blog.... So to make sure I can find it when I need it.

 

This is a really good (free!) tool for indexing and getting the bibliographic information from PDF's.  Zotero can do this as well with some configuration. 

Haven't really used either recently to compare... but will put it on my list of things to do.

Let me know if you have questions/comments.
