QUOSA - new software at the library

The Library has purchased a site-license for the QUOSA software:
http://www.library.uq.edu.au/quosa/
QUOSA logo
Advantages of QUOSA:
• Downloads multiple PDFs – FAST
• Organizes PDFs into folder trees with links back to EndNote or RefWorks
• Deep searches inside PDFs as every word of the article (not just in the title and abstract) is indexed.

QUOSA can be used when searching PubMed, Ovid Medline, Scopus and the Web of Knowledge databases. QUOSA is integrated with EndNote and RefWorks.

Download the software from http://www.quosa.com/downloads.php
and choose the subscriber version. (Suggestion - do NOT enable startup accelerator )

To learn how to use QUOSA efficiently you can:

  • Do the online tutorials from http://www.med.yale.edu/library/education/guides/feature/quosa
  • View the demo videos from http://www.quosa.com/demos.html
  • Come to a demonstration : Friday June 20th 2.30 - 3.30 in the Social Sciences and Humanities Library conference Room - level 1, building 2.

    • Enjoy!
