About this session This is an in-person session by the Libraries Learning Development Team (Information Skills) designed to guide you through the process of using EndNote Desktop. This reference management software is available for free to all students and staff at the University of Nottingham. It can be used to create a library of references and to automatically build a bibliography/reference list in Word and automate your referencing process.
Learning outcomes: By the end of the course, you should be able to:
recognise the value of using reference management software (RMS) to keep track of reading materials and to enable effective and consistent referencing
apply key functionality within EndNote to effectively save, organise and edit references and to access a range of referencing style
produce accurate and consistent in-text citations and reference lists / bibliographies within academic writing by linking EndNote to Microsoft Word
Description
The course builds on the information given in the 'Researcher Information Skills' course. This is a two hour course consisting of a presentation, with demonstrations and practical hands-on exercises.
We advise that you download EndNote Desktop in advance of the session if you wish to use your own PC (if you are using a University PC, EndNote can be downloaded via the Software Library).
If you cannot make our in-person sessions, we run an equivalent webinar version of this session for Undergraduates and PGT students covering 'Using EndNote' which PGT and Staff can attend:
