EndNote...

I have started to explore EndNote so that I am able to insert my EndNote references, that I create, into my Word doc in order to successfully complete Task 2. I also want to learn how to use this referencing tool in order to save me time and anxiety when completing future university assignments.

I searched google and located a YouTube clip which demonstrates how to use EndNote in seven minutes. I found this tutorial useful because it explained how to:

• Import a reference from an online database.
• Use Find Full Text to download a PDF.
• Insert a reference in a Word document.
• Format a bibliography using the APA style as an example.
• Add page numbers to a citation.

A negative point about the tutorial is that it does not explain how to manually add reference details into EndNote, however, I searched google again and found this PDF that does. I have found this resource really helpful because it also explains how to create a custom group, link files and import reference details.

PROBLEM!

After numerous unsuccessful attempts to download EndNote onto my Mac, and following the Murdoch Library instructions and Jenni's screencast recording, (which I located after viewing the LMS discussion forum for Task 2),  I have decided to research an alternative referencing tool in order to keep my sanity.
