EndNote: Introduction to a Reference Management Program (Live Online)

BeginnersPrerequisitesUpdated

• An introduction to using the bibliography program EndNote to store references and notes and use them to achieve correct referencing in your documents without re-typing. This course covers EndNote Desktop which is available free to members of Cambridge University via the Academia website

• The course will consist of a demonstration, followed by a practical session working through the course handout. If you are unable to install EndNote before the course then you will not be able to do the practical but you should still find the demonstration useful and can try the practical later in your own time.

• Using EndNote will enable you to keep a note of references as you research online so that you will always be able to document your sources correctly. It can save you time as you should never need to retype references and you can alter their layout with a couple of mouse-clicks.

• All current University members (departments and colleges)
• Further details regarding eligibility criteria are available

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