QUOSA Information management software available for postgraduate students and staff

peacock — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 05:49:30 +0000

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.

For more information please see:

Document Delivery for Undergraduates to be trialled during Semester 1

peacock — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 03:21:02 +0000

During Semester 1 2008, the Library will be offering document delivery to Undergraduate students, as part of a trial service.

Undergraduate students will be able to request up to a maximum of 15 items per semester through the document delivery service. This may include requests for books or articles that are related to your studies and which are not held at the University of Queensland Library. It may also include requests for journal articles held at Warehouse or at another UQ campus.

Supply time for these requests may vary depending on whether an item is supplied from the UQ collection, or from a non-UQ collection. Supply time for items requested from non-UQ collections will depend on factors such as the local processes of the supplying library and the time that an item will spend in transit from the supplying library to UQ.
