Saving
So you’ve found sources, and you want to save them. Discover expert strategies below.
Tools
Save PDF to Cloud
SuperSearch has a new feature called Save PDF to Cloud, which enables you to save files to Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive.
- Enter a search into SuperSearch.
- Select the Save PDF to Cloud link below the title of your desired item in the results list.
- Select your preferred cloud service in the pop-up window.
- Select Save.
Zotero
We also recommend using Zotero, a citation management tool, which enables you to both save documents as well as create reference lists and in-text citations. Zotero is an extremely effective tool for large scale research projects where you need to save more than 15 sources.
Organizing Your Files
- Create a folder for your articles in a cloud drive such as Google Drive or Dropbox.
- Download and save articles to your folder.
- Rename the files using the author’s last name followed by the article title (e.g., Johnson – Paw preference as a tool for assessing emotional functioning and welfare in dogs and cats).
- Add Google Drive to your Desktop for easy access.
- Print articles and organize them according to topic. Printed articles are easier to read which will reduce fatigue.
