NEW REFWORKS FEATURE: REFGRAB-IT

RefWorks has launched a cool new feature! RefGrab-It works with your browser to capture bibliographic information from web pages, and gives you the option to import that data into your RefWorks account. If an ISBN number, PubMed ID or DOI exist on the web page, RefGrab-It will automatically search various web resources to get supplemental information that may be of interest to you. RefWorks may also locate RSS feeds related to that web page.

When you use RefGrab-It on a web page, it automatically opens a “temporary results page” in a new window. You can view the information and additional resources first, then decide if you want to import the data.

RefGrab-It is currently compatible with the Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox browsers. For more information about using RefGrab-It with your browser, check out the RefWorks Help page.

USE ONLINE CATALOG TO LINK TO ONLINE JOURNALS

As of August 2006, 10,000 online journals are available via the Ohio State University Libraries’ online catalog. This count includes online journals that have been purchased specifically for the OSU community as well as the journals, which are available from the OhioLINK Electronic Journal Center (EJC) and EBSCO. Only journals which are available in full are added to the OSCAR catalog.

Electronic journals may be housed on different servers on the Internet. The link to an electronic journal, which works for OSU IP addresses, is in the Libraries’ catalog ( http://library.ohio-state.edu.) Use the “Journal (Online)” search, to locate the online journals for which the OSU libraries have acquired access.
