Library Accounts

This guide will help you get started finding resources for your research in public health. In order to gain access to articles and databases, you need to know that Your Library Account  is the same as your SJSU One Account (Student/Faculty ID # and your SJSUOne Password) 

Set up an ILLiad account with Interlibrary Loan so you can request articles from journals not owned by SJSU Library.

This is a FREE service, if we are not able to get the article because of the cost, we will let you know. 

For Department please select Health Science. 

Citation managers, such as Zotero and PaperPile are programs that allow users to collect, organize, and cite sources. They also allow for collaboration and some provide the ability to store and annotate PDFs within the system.

Why should you use a citation manager? 
  • Organize sources using folders, tags, and even group libraries for collaboration with people across the world. 

  • Many have browser extensions or integration with library software to make it easy to collect items with your research so you don't forget about the paper you saw 10 pages ago. 
  • Many integrate with Google Docs and/or Microsoft Word to make it easy to cite sources while writing.
