Workshop 7 - Using Endnote

Lecture

Useful and interesting components of the lecture were: Understanding what endnote is, using the Endnote database program, demonstrating how endnote is used in collaboration with Microsoft Word.

Endnote is a database program that allows you to make a bibliography in the proper appropriate referencing source, providing fields for different source(s). Endnote being a database also stores previous references when saved.

• To start using endnote when the application is opened, you click new library, save the reference under an appropriate name.
  
• Once the application open Ctrl N is pressed to open a new reference, choose the appropriate reference type and document necessary information needed in reference. To change to the ECU referencing APA 5th locate click the icon that says “annotated” and change to APA 5th.
  
• To then input the reference source into Microsoft Word program place the cursor where you would like your in text reference to go, click tools, Cite While You Write, insert selected citation. The end text reference will automatically be placed at the end of your paper.
  

Learning the process of how to use Endnote gave me a brief understanding of the functions of endnote and how to use it.
Tutorial

Tutorial

In the tutorial we were told to open up Endnote exercises for Vista, from blackboard. The first two Endnote activities were to input a couple of references from different sources into Word. The Last activity was more difficult as the task was to input a journal article reference from Pro Quest. This is done by marking the item, clicking the “my research” tab, then exporting the reference citation straight into a saved Endnote reference library. Once we had finished all the Endnote exercises we showed our tutorial teacher Gary that we had finished then we were allowed to go early or spend the rest of the tutorial finishing our Bloggs.

Task Two is then to go to Blackboard and complete Endnote V11 Exercises for Vista.

Task Three: Once we had completed the endnote exercises for Vista we then had to open and save a copy of cite while you write Endnote exercise. Using the references from task 1 we had to input the references into this document. We then have to include a screen capture of the references in Endnote and the references within cite while you write Endnote exercise.
