Week 7

Lecture
Lecture Summary In today's lecture we talked about EndNote. We reference so that we are able to distinguish our ideas from those of others and acknowledge our sources. This also enables to reader to follow up if they are interested in the source we have used. EndNote is a database that can be used as a reference manager and a bibliography maker. EndNot can be used in two ways
Standalone Program
Integrated into MS Word.

EndNote works as it is a flat-file database system, where the content is displayed in columns and rethe references are displayed in a chosen style. You can get EndNote through the ECU Library Web page. We then learnt how to open an EndNot Library and how to save it. We use Endnot to keep track of a growing number of references, display a variety of recognised styles of referencing,handles a variety of types of references, searchings of records of references associated with a specific project and it can be integrated with Microsoft WORD.
Some things one should know when using Endnote is to not expect to get your results first time, eliminate clutter from the display interface and back up your library

Workshop Two
Exercise One
In workshop two i had to go into the web site provided. I had to configure Endnote and type in the information provided. After i had done this Endnote provided me with a reference of the details i had entered.

Exercises Two
In exercises two i had to go on this site http://computer.howstuffworks.com/blog.htm and type in the same requirements for Endnote but with the information of this web site. Endnote gave me a reference of the details.

Exercise Three
In exercise three i had follow the further ins ructions attached to Endnote worksheet. I had to go through the ECU library database, find an article and use it as a reference on Endnote. I then had to transfer my findings onto WORD. This shows a quote from the documents with and in-text reference and an end-text for the texts. Here is a screen shot of my work:




Workshop Three
In this part of the workshop i had to click on a link provided and follow the instructions. Here is a screen shot of my work:





EndNote



Readings
In today's Reading I have to summarize a resource called "Guide to Endnot v9 @ ECU" from http://www.research.ecu.edu.au/grs/data/tmp/guide_to_endnotev9ecu.pdf. Endnote is a program that stores, manages and searches references in personal libraries that are set up by the user. Endnote saves hours of time as a reference only needs to entered into the Endnote library once. Endnote will produce the reference in citations and reference list. Using Endnote, it will ensure that there is no mistakes and no missing items. To build an Endnote Library, select New from the File menu then select a directory from the Save in list. To add a reference to the library select New Reference from the reference menu. Then click Reference type, a drop down box should appear with type of referencing. Select the type you want and a list of titles should appear, enter your information into the fields, you will be able to view the reference by exiting out of the pop-up window.
