EndNote: managing references the easy way!


Millions of researchers, academics and students worldwide use EndNote to organise their references, create bibliographies and search online bibliographic databases. Now DIT staff and students are getting the opportunity to use this leading edge software.
Library Services are delighted to announce that we have negotiated an institutional licence for EndNote which allows staff and students to use the software both within and outside of the DIT network.
EndNote will allow you to:
Automatically create references, footnotes and bibliographies in your written research reports, assignments or dissertations.
Create and maintain your own reference database of citations by importing references from a variety of electronic sources such as library catalogues, databases etc.
Generate a bibliography in the correct citation style for publication.
The library will offer hands-on, practical training sessions on EndNote from next September. Individual staff or post-grads who would like training over the summer period should contact Allison at 3266, Israel at 7167 or Ciaran at 7166.
