EndNote: Introduction to a Reference Management Program (Self-paced)
BeginnersPrerequisites

Tue 13 May 2014

Description

An introduction to the bibliography package EndNote and its interface with Microsoft Word. EndNote is a program that stores bibliographic references, and notes about those references, in an EndNote Library. EndNote then interfaces with MS Word to help you create a bibliography and bibliographic citations while you type a document. The style (contents and layout) of the citations and bibliography can then be formatted in an Output Style of your choice; this can easily be changed without retyping.

Prerequisites

No experience of EndNote is required, but familiarity with basic wordprocessing on a PC or Macintosh will be assumed.

Taught using

Notes
  • This course does NOT cover advanced topics such as modifying input and output formats; nor does it cover conversion to EndNote format of a bibliography already prepared in Word. For help with such topics, please email ll-support@ucs.cam.ac.uk
  • This course usually runs at least twice a term. If you are unable to attend, you can get a copy of the workbook by emailing ll-support@ucs.cam.ac.uk (the course notes mostly refer to using Endnote on the MCS and you may need to adapt some parts if you are following it on a personal machine).
  • Please check the venue as the course is occasionally given in the Roger Needham Building on the West Cambridge Site rather than on the New Museums Site.
  • PWF PCs will be provided, alternatively attendeeds may bring their own laptops (providing EndNote is already installed) and can follow the course using their laptops with the Eduroam wireless service. A small amount of setting up will be necessary for each laptop, and a few of the instructions in the course will need to be reinterpreted.
  • If you would prefer to use a Macintosh rather than a PC, please email ll-support@ucs.cam.ac.uk to request a set of handouts customised for Macintosh.
