AGSM students can now use the UNSW Main Library

After some technical difficulties AGSM students are now again able to use the UNSW Main Library. The two Libraries are on different systems so there are small differences in procedures.

These are the main points to keep in mind when using the Main Library:
•    You will need to present your student card to borrow books
•    Normal loan period is 4 weeks unless recalled – that is when another person has requested the book, you will be emailed and have 7 days to return the book
•    Standard overdue items are fined at $1/day per item (max $30/item) you will be emailed a couple of days before the items are due.
•    You can borrow 50 items at a time
•    The UNSW Library catalogue is available from the Frank Lowy Library page under ‘Research & Articles Databases’, choose ‘UNSW LRD (Catalogue)’ from the ‘Databases A-Z list’.

Connecting to the Frank Lowy Library Catalogue with EndNote

Bibliographic management software, such as EndNote, is useful for tracking citations that you find as part of your research. It is also possible to use these programs to connect to the Frank Lowy Library Catalogue and download citations directly.

This blog provides basic instruction for using the EndNote software with the FLL's catalogue.

Download the FLL Catalogue Connection File

You can import records from the FLL Catalogue into your EndNote libraries by using a connection file. Connection files allow you to search a library catalogue using EndNote's custom search interface and then import selected records directly into your library.

Click the link below to download the connection file. Save the file in the "Connections" folder in your EndNote program file (usually C:\Program Files\Endnote\Connections).

Download Connection File - Frank Lowy Library.enz]

Searching the FLL Catalogue in EndNote

Once you have installed the connection file in the specified location, you are ready to begin searching the FLL Catalogue.

Open EndNote. Go to "Tools" and "Connect" and then again "Connect...".
Select the Frank Lowy Library connection file.
Highlight the connection file and then click "Search"
A search box should appear that states "Remote Search of Library Catalogue at the Frank Lowy Library". Enter your search terms and click "Search"
Retrieve your references and highlight those that you wish to move to your EndNote library. Click "Copy # References To" and select your EndNote library. Your references should import automatically.
