1. The Reference staff is here to help. We offer:
   • Free search advice
   • Free help locating articles
   • Free one-on-one orientations to resources in your specialty

2. Start at the Library homepage (http://jeffline.jefferson.edu)! Use JEFFLINE's links to databases and journals for enhanced services from the resources – especially true for PubMed.
   
   
3. Use “JEFFLINE” links in database results to access full-text or locate print journals
   
   
   
   
   Or just consult the Journals A-Z list from the JEFFLINE homepage.
4. If Scott Library doesn’t have an article, we can borrow it for you from another library for $5/item. To begin the borrowing process, you must create an account in our Document Delivery system (ILLiad) to track and receive your article requests - register for your ILLiad account now.
   
   Can’t wait? Ask the Reference staff to help you find another article on the topic.
   
   
5. Customize Pubmed by creating your own NCBI account and using filters relevant for you, such as “Toxicology” or “Microbiology Databases” to create a tab to help you easily find the references with additional toxicity or genetic/sequence information.  Don’t forget to add the “Jeffline” button by using “outside tools”!
   
   
6. Use RefWorks to manage your citations & format your manuscripts – like Endnote or Reference Manager.  Available from any computer on the Internet with your Campus Key.
   
   
7. Explore our institutional repository, the Jefferson Digital Commons. You can deposit your published articles in one easy location and let AISR describe & preserve them and provide free access to the article worldwide.
   
   
8. Find lab methods info online with Springer Protocols (formerly "Biomed Protocols") or refresh your memory with basic science e-textbooks through Access Medicine. Search for more ebooks - we have hundreds.
   
   
9. Journal Citation Reports data is available online from JEFFLINE (2008 - ). Older years are available in print or CD in the Library. Look up impact factors and other important metrics for an individual journal or a subject area when you're preparing to publish.
   
   
10. My JEFFLINE for Researchers offers quick links to research relevant pages such as grants information, databases, e-journals & texts, training and other resources for researchers.
