This worskshop will cover… • Getting citations from databases to Endnote • Using Endnote to organize your research • Putting citations into Word documents & changing the way citations appear
“ORGANIZE” “DEPLOY” “COLLECT” Your own notes; “added value” Dissertation Article Database #1 EndNote Library on your computer Article Database #2 Article – submit to Journal A Library Catalog (Books) Article – submit to Journal B
COLLECT:Library Database --> EndNote • Search the database of your choice • Mark some records for articles etc. • Get them into your EndNote library This is very simple in some databases, not so simple in others.
COLLECT:Methods of “populating” your Endnote library • Direct connection ( via a “.enz” file) • “Direct export” from database • Manual export from database; then import into Endnote using a FILTER (“.enf” file) • Manual entry (only do this if item doesn’t appear in any electronic source!)
COLLECT:What about full text? • If the document is short, it MIGHT fit into the Research Notes field in its entirety. (Capacity is ~16 pages of text) • Use Link To PDF field to link to any file (not just pdf files) that has been saved on your computer’s hard drive • Links that go to external databases will often stop working when you’re no longer at your institution, so always save full text files.
ORGANIZE:The Research Notes Field… • What chapter will this item go into? • What argument will it be used to support? • Pages of the most important parts • Who told you about it • Anything that will help you remember it • Where your print copy is, if you have one • You have about 16 pages of space to fill!
DEPLOY:Cite While You Write • When you’re ready to insert a citation, highlight it in your EndNote library • Go back to Word and insert the citation • Add page numbers if you want • Change formats according to citation styles you need to use for different audiences
