14. Summary

Managing your referencing: EndNote

EndNote is a bibliographic software package that can help you manage your references.

You can create your own EndNote Library of citations for all the books, journal articles, eJournal articles, webpages, etc. that you have consulted. Using EndNote you can insert citations into your documents, create bibliographies and reference lists, and arrange your references in your selected reference style, for example APA.

You can type reference details into your EndNote Library yourself or you can import records into EndNote from other sources including NORA Power Search, the Library Catalogue, and databases such as Web of Knowledge, Science Direct, etc.

To find out more about EndNote and and learn how to use it you can work through the various tutorials/guides that are available on Skills Plus (see the Referencing and plagiarism section).
