Bibliographic Management: No longer a chore!
Important points • Today’s session is an overview • Please see citing sources link on the library web site • Search google for answers (e.g., Zotero vs Endnote) • In addition to the library site, check the www.princeton.edu/~proschol site for sessions and clinics
RefWorks and EndNote can make your life easier in 3 ways • Collecting citations and annotating them • Organizing/searching your citations • Deploying them into your document in the proper citation style
Summary of EndNote vs. RefWorks • RefWorks is web-based which makes it fully portable, seamlessly updatable by the provider, and better at pulling records into your database (“folder”) • It is klunkier than EndNote in its ability to interact with MS Word documents; 100+ page documents work better in EndNote • EndNote is more robust and full-featured, but harder to learn because of this.
Collecting References 4 ways of getting reference into your RefWorks or EndNote folder/library: • Manually • Import via export-->import • Direct Export • Direct Connection (great for PU main catalog)
Organizing and managing your references • Sort • Search • Annotate
Deploying into a document • Write-n-Cite (for RefWorks) and the EndNote toolbar must be downloaded and visible from within Word • RefWorks saves new version of document for you; always amend original version (this is the “klunkier” aspect) • Editing citations (page numbers, etc)
