Save your searches and Citations
A useful research tip is to save your searches and citations. You can view your catalog search history and pinned results by signing into your account.
We also recommend using the citation program Zotero. This is a free program allows you to save citations and organize them to use later. You can follow this weblink to download Zotero.
If you need help using Zotero, we recommend taking a look at the program's documentation and how to guides.
