Quick Start
UC Library Search: UCD Library Catalog Setting
UC Library Search: UCD Library Catalog Setting
UC Library Search, the new Library catalog includes all of the UC library collections. This setting is specific for the UC Davis libraries including (for the first time) the holdings of the Law Library. If you Sign in (on the top right corner) using your UCD login and Kerberos passphrase, you are prompted with your loan period, can renew books online, and request items that have been checked out to another borrower, or are in storage.
Get it at UC
Get it at UC (Linking from your library databases)
Not all articles or ebooks will be available for download directly from a database. To access full-text articles and ebooks from databases (e.g., PubMed, Web of Science) and Google Scholar, click the Get it at UC-link button. If you are not on campus, be sure to connect to the library VPN to access your article.
This link appears in most library literature databases and provides a consistent way of:
1) getting to online articles or book chapters (if licensed) or
2) viewing information about AVAILABILITY of print issues of a journal we own or info on a print book.
If we do not own a journal or book, do Sign In (UCD login/Kerberos passphrase + DUO) and then
3) make an Interlibrary Request that the item be sent to you for free from another UC library — often using Web delivery if the item is an article or book chapter.

EndNote
EndNote is citation management software that allows you to store, manage, and format bibliographic citations, and easily change formatting of citations in Word documents. Available, and free to UC Davis students, faculty & staff (campus has a site license).
Two versions are available:
- Endnote client/desktop: Requires installation of software, more powerful, best choice for faculty and grad students.
- To download, log-on to MyUCDavis,
- RESOURCES > SOFTWARE > Type EndNote in the search box > Select download link that corresponds to your desktop’s operations system.
- For installation help, contact Campus IET or your department’s computer support.
- To download, log-on to MyUCDavis,
- EndnoteWeb: Requires online registration. EndNoteWeb allows you to store, share, and organize your research content.
- Web-based; able to access content 24/7.
- Perfect for sharing citations with a group.
Citation Generators
These free tools prompt you to enter in the components of a citation, and configure the elements according to APA guidelines. Make sure you verify the accuracy of your results by consulting the Publication Manual!
Developed by the North Carolina State University Libraries.
This site is maintained by the Hekman Library at Calvin College in Michigan. Select ‘APA’ from the Citation Styles menu.
Select the type of source you are citing and complete the web form. For books, you can enter an ISBN to populate the form automatically.
This tool is useful if you only need to generate citations for a couple of sources.
Author ID/Track Research
What is it?
ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID)- distinguishes your research from other researchers by providing a persistent digital identifier.
What it does:
- resolve name ambiguity
- seamlessly links to multiple research formats, i.e., grants, manuscripts, etc.
- ensures that your work is recognized

What is it?
Altmetric provides a social media profile for an article, including: blogs, tweets, Facebook, Google+, CiteULike, Wikipedia, Mendeley, Connotea, Reddit, and news outlets that have referenced the article. Includes links to postings and metrics.
What it does:
- Provides a collated record of who’s saying what about your published work
- Helps you to monitor and track early engagement
- Identifies the most effective channels, i.e., Twitter, Facebook, eBlogger
