Cite it! Sort it! EndNote it!

The Information Services Team in the Library are running additional workshops the week beginning the 22nd of February, 2016 to support staff and students in using EndNote.

EndNote is a commercial reference management software package, used to manage references when writing essays and articles. It is produced by Thomson Reuters.

In the workshop, the Information Specialists will work through creating an EndNote Library online, importing references from other sources (such as Scopus, Proquest, Library SmartSearch & Google Scholar) and managing your references once they are in your EndNote Library.  There will be plenty of opportunity to practise and the Information Specialist will be in the room to support you.

Finally, we will look at how you can import your references in to your Word document using the Cite While You Write function.

The EndNote workshops are open to final year undergraduates writing a dissertation, postgraduates starting their final project, research students and academics.

If you are interested in attending please view the workshop timetable and register for one of the events.
