The Learning Success Hub now has a dedicated page which brings together a range of tools to support your research, make it easy to locate and save useful resources, and effectively manage your references.
Tools available include:
BrowZine
BrowZine brings together all the academic journals in the Arden Library collection in a simple to use platform that enables you to search by subject area, journal title or ISSN.
The platform acts like an online bookshelf allowing you to create a personal library of journals and articles, and you can save and export your articles to read them offline.
You can follow and receive alerts when new issues of your favourite journals are published.
Google Scholar
Google Scholar is a specially designed Google search that indexes scholarly research.
This is a quick way to conduct academic searches, and you can adjust your settings so that Google Scholar will provide links to resources available through Arden’s Library Portal.
Reference Management Tools
The Research Tools page provides access to Zotero and Mendeley. These are two useful tools which enable you to collect, organise and annotate your academic resources and create references and bibliographies.
LibKey Nomad
LibKey Nomad is a browser extension that provides quick and simple access to full-text articles of journals that we subscribe to along with open access articles.
The tool works in the background when you are browsing articles online. When it detects a page containing content that is available from our library subscriptions or open access materials an icon will pop up which will take you directly to the PDF.
This can save you time as you don’t need to log in on each journal website or keep going back to the library search to locate it.
LibKey.io
Libkey.io is a quick way of searching for full-text articles using either the digital object identifier (DOI) or PubMed Identifier (PMID). If we have a subscription to the journal or it is open access, LibKey.io will take you straight to the full text.
To find out more, access video guides, and start using all these great tools visit the Research Tools page.
