A Couple Web 2.0 Tools for Keeping Track of Research
Social bookmarking sites can be very useful for keeping track of online research. Some of the sites most frequently used for academic bookmarking purposes are:
delicious
Probably the most popular of all social bookmarking sites. You can use it for academic purposes, too.
StumbleUpon
Also allows you to rate websites.
CiteULike
Probably the most “academic” of the three, CiteULike is a scholarly bookmarking tool that allows you to make detailed bibliographic records for online sources. CiteULike automatically retrieves citation information from databases including JSTOR, Ingenta, ProjectMUSE and others. [Read about these databases in this C-M journals guide].
Research Services & Research Consultations
Research services librarians are there to assist you any basic research question. They have extensive hours:
Monday – Thursday 9am – 8pm
