Using IUCAT FAQ

Return to FAQ main menu

 

IUCAT is hard to use. How do I just get results for a title I am looking for?

Good question! IUCAT title searches are not restricted to the title of the book, journal, etc. It also finds the words you are looking for in the title of a series, alternate titles, and titles of articles in compendia of articles. If you know the exact title that you are looking for, it may be a good idea to use the Begins With (Browse) capability that can be found at the More IUCAT Searches box that appears on the right side of IUCAT home page. Alternatively, you may try refining your search results to a particular category using the options listed on the right side of the website.

Does IUCAT include individual articles?

No, it does not. Good starting points for finding chemistry articles are Web of Science, and SciFinder. You may find more information here.

 

 

Can I export a reference directly from IUCAT to EndNote

No, you can't. However, you may search IUCAT within EndNote. For doing that in EndNote, you may use the Online Search. You may need to add Indiana University if it is not already on your EndNote's Online Search list (click more to bring up a list of all possible catalogs and databases to search and then choose Indiana University).
