Other databases

• JSTOR
  Electronic archive of journals in several disciplines. Includes 14 journals in the field of Classical Studies. JSTOR does not often include the most recent years of a title. When searching a database with full text, it can be helpful to use multiple keywords and limit your search to those journals in Classics.
  • EndNote Filter: JSTOR--CC

• TOCS-IN: Tables of Contents of Journals of Interest to Classicists
  Eighty volunteers from sixteen countries began indexing the tables of contents of classics periodicals in 1992. The index now covers about 185 journals and over 45,000 articles.
  • EndNote filter: Because there is no way to export the data in TOCS-IN, you will need to manually enter the information about the citations in EndNote.

• Google Scholar
  Search across disciplines and journals.  Sometimes you can get access to the text of the article, but frequently you will only get the citations. 
  • EndNote filter: Because there is no way to export the data uniformly from Google Scholar, you will need to manually enter the information about the citations in EndNote.

Using EndNote

EndNote is a bibliographic management tool. Use it to:

• Keep track of the citations for articles that you have found.
• Upload the records from the databases directly.
• Format the references in your preferred style in your paper.

You can either use the computer application (available for download here: Library's website) or you can use EndNote Web.

EndNote Reminders

If you are using EndNote software, remember that to get the latest filters and styles, you will want to change the location of your folders to point to COLLAB.

• Go to "Preferences" on a Mac and "Edit--Preferences" on a PC.
• Choose Folder Locations from options on left side
• Set the folder location to the following path: (COLLAB\Departments\LIBR\Common\Applications\Windows) for Connections, Filters and Styles.

***Your references from L'Annee Phil will not come over to EndNote completely clean. I've put all of the information from the annotations in the page number field in EndNote so that all of the information would come into your library. Simply move any of the data that you need around within the individual reference, and delete the information that you don't need.
