Off-campus Access

lngo@library.berkeley.edu (Lisa Ngo) — Wed, 30 May 2012 09:19:39 -0700

To access UCB Library resources from off campus, configure your machine using one of two simple methods (Proxy Server is the quickest and easiest):

Proxy Server
After you make a one-time change in your web browser settings, the proxy server will ask you to log in with a CalNet ID when you click on the link to a licensed resource. See the setup instructions, FAQ, and Troubleshooting pages to configure your browser. Follow these steps to check your proxy configuration.

VPN (Virtual Private Network)
After you install and run the VPN client software on your computer, you can log in with a CalNet ID to establish a secure connection with the campus network.

Citation Linker

lngo@library.berkeley.edu (Lisa Ngo) — Wed, 30 May 2012 09:35:00 -0700

If you have a citation, use the UC-eLinks Citation Linker to find the full-text.

Journal Title and Date are required fields. Enter as much information as you have about the publication.

Citation Management Tools

lngo@library.berkeley.edu (Lisa Ngo) — Mon, 21 May 2012 11:16:45 -0700

Citation management tools help you manage your research, collect and cite sources, and create bibliographies in a variety of citation styles. Each one has its strengths and weaknesses, but any are easier than doing it by hand!

RefWorks - free for UC Berkeley users. It allows you to create your own database by importing references and using them for footnotes and bibliographies. Use the RefWorks New User Form to sign up.

EndNote: may be purchased from UC Berkeley's Software Central.Supports many citations styles in science and engineering.

Zotero: A free plug-in that works exclusively with the Firefox browser: keeps copies of what you find on the web, permits tagging, notation, full text searching of your library of resources, works with Word, and has a free web backup service.

It's always good to double check the formatting -- sometimes the software doesn't get it quite right.
