You must also enter in the University's Source It at Melbourne server address to enable the OpenURL link function to work.
You can also set up links to ISI Web of Knowledge through "Go to ISI" links within EndNote records downloaded from this search engine.

• Items found will be automatically attached to the EndNote reference. Open the file by selecting the reference and clicking on the Open Item toolbar icon (a yellow folder symbol) in the EndNote toolbar
• You should find that between 50-75% of recent academic journal articles can be downloaded automatically through this method depending on what information is available in the reference. Find Full Text is improved if DOI or ISSN details are available in the reference.
• Comprehensive information about this feature is available in the EndNote Mac Users Manual included with the EndNote download file (X3 : p.149 - 157 ; X4 : p.91 - 97).

I don't feel like summarizing about it now, because I want to apply it straight away....

Creating a table in blog

testing	testing	testing
* in case you are wondering what this is about...	i am learning to insert a table in my blog, so that I can show you how to do the lit review using the matrix method...	you can refer to this link

Its not too late

I am almost towards the end of my first year of phd.... how come I still cannot make sense of my literature review? I have a system that looks ok... (I got this from one of the research methods book). Somehow, something was missing. As I was browsing in Amazon.com, I found this book. I read one of the comments... and I decided to order it. Now this book is in my hands, I am half way through... and yes I think it was worth it. I found the missing bits.... thats probably why I couldn't make sense of my lit review...

Ok, I am going to continue reading this... will summarize later.

Qualitative course

Hi, I just found out that I could attend the qualitative course at SPH (found this out from one of my supervisors). I have been looking through the web pages again and again, but I couldn't find it.  Just want to share this with my colleagues... go through the SPH website or SPH handbook. You can actually attend courses, but beware of the assignments and exams. But actually if you enrolled in this course early on, it would really be helpful. Sigh... should have known earlier.

The Plagiarism Checker

Great software from another postgraduate student.

"Anyone who has a doubtful thought with his writing can use this website, it been suggested by my inquisitive friend. I found it very useful, to be more accurate just invest US 8.00 per month. Please advise me if you got any powerful checker."

Thanks for sharing this...

Library search

Last Monday (12th of October, 2009) I had an appointemnt with Jim (Liason Librarian). I thought I would be seeing for only 10 minutes.. just to check how whether I was doing the right thing.... Off course I thought I was doing the right thing!!!

But it turned out to be... I was doing it the long winded way. And I wasn't even searching at the right places.

Let me summarize what I should be doing:

1) Start with general databases eg medline, scopus, web of science
2) Then go to to specific databes: psych info, family and society studies (worldwide and then Australia), MAIS, Meditext, APA-FT. For my topic, I should look at social science databases as well!!!
3) In terms of the keywords: also start with general, then specific
4) Use search terms like "mental health" and Muslim* (that's a better technique)
5) Look for alternative keywords (by looking at the keywords from relevant articles)
6) You can also look at 'cited by'
7) One more thing, you don't need to use Mesh subheadings. You can search by 'topic'. If you would like to refine the search, you can search the keyword in the 'title'

Does that make sense? Yes, it does to me.
