Dentistry Library is now open until 8pm on Wednesday evenings - this is a trial so please let us know what you think!

If you are scratching your head about the new library home page and are not sure how to find things in the library catalogue then we have designed a quick tutorial to help out. It should only take a couple of minutes and is designed to give a very brief overview of a couple of its features.

New homepage tutorial

QUOSA helps you to quickly retrieve full text articles (PDFs or HTML) and organize them in your QUOSA library. Every word in the full text is indexed so you can quickly search the library of PDFs or other files. Search terms are highlighted for fast perusal. A “Document Summary” pane allows you to go directly to passages of interest in the full text.

QUOSA is integrated with Referencing Software. With one click put the references in EndNote or RefWorks which then links back to the PDF or file in QUOSA.

QUOSA works with PubMed, Web of Knowledge databases, Scopus and Ovid databases.

This is a pilot study until end 2008.
