Tools for Efficient Article Search

Tools for Efficient Article Search

Here are some plug-in tools that allow you to know the availability of the full text of an article more quickly or reach the full text with a fewer number of entries or clicks.

EndNote Click (formerly Kopernio)

EndNote Click searches for articles in journals to which the Hokkaido University (HU) Library is subscribed (or OA articles in journals to which it is not subscribed) and displays one-click access buttons for their PDF files.

Once you save your identification and password for remote access in your browser, you will have instant access from outside the campus to articles in journals to which the HU Library is subscribed.

*Account registration (free) is required.
