Endnote "lite" (Web): Introduction to a Reference Management Program (Self-paced)
BeginnersPrerequisites

Wed 6 Jun 2012

Description

An introduction to the browser-based bibliography program EndNote Web and its interaction with Microsoft Word to produce documents containing formatted reference citations. EndNote Web is a “lite” version of the stand-alone EndNote program. It is free to use to members of the University as part of the UL's subscription to the Web of Knowledge database of references.

The Computing Service also runs several termly introductory courses on EndNote Desktop and on more advanced use of EndNote Desktop.

EndNote Web enables you to search for relevant books and articles and store their citation details online. You can modify your copies of these references and add some notes. The program can later work as a “helper” application with Microsoft Word so that you can add consistently laid-out citations to a document that you are creating and create a sorted bibliography at its end.

EndNote Web does not provide advanced features such as customisation of output formats (styles) , these are only available with EndNote for Bibliographies

Prerequisites

Familiarity with using Word and Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari

Taught using

EndNote Web

Notes
  • In order to have a consistent environment, you will need to do the practical on the machines set up in the room, rather than a personal laptop. If you need help setting up EndNote Web to work on your laptop, please contact the course giver via the Service Desk after the course* The course will usually be run in a teaching room where only Macintoshes are available, but, because it is browser-based, the program behaves exactly the same on a Windows PC.
  • Your initial registration can only be done successfully from a University machine (because that is how the program tests whether you are eligible to use it without payment). Once you have created an account, your registration remains valid so long as you access it from a University machine at least once every 12 months.
Duration
