Search Smarter & Find More!
Do you ever need to know ...
- What's the most important article in your field? A seminal article?
- How many times your article has been cited? How about an article by your advisor / colleague?
- How to find articles in more than one discipline?
(searching computer science, psychology, AND biology at the same time)
If so, the University of Connecticut Libraries has some terrific resources!
and 
can answer the above questions and more. - They use Citation Searching which allows you to find out who has cited a particular journal article, book, patent, or other item.
This is an efficient way to find relevant articles, especially in science and social science.
- Scopus and Web of Science supplement the subject-specific databases you have already searched like
Compendex, PsycINFO and PubMed.
The UConn Libraries is offering free Citation Search Seminars for you to learn more.
Graduate students will teach you how to ...
- Maximize your library research time AND
- Provide practice time to do your own searching
in one 90-minute seminar.
Bonus: we will give $10 gift certificates to the UConn Coop to all attendees and
we will raffle off a $25 gift certificate at each session.
