WEEK 7

TUTORIAL

In today’s tutorial we reviewed the online referencing guide and had to include five examples of electronic format material that are referenced. Then we had to complete the endnotev11 Exercises for vista. Then we completed the Cite while also writing the Endnote activity once this was done we had to save the Cite while we were writing the exercise and captured several screenshots of it and included it in our week 11 blog entry.

We then configured and installed endnote, and learnt how to add information into endnote to make references. We added information from a book, a web page and a journal article and we made a reference for each in endnote and saved it into our endnote library that we made.





LECTURE

Today's lecture was based on the program Endnote. Endnote is a program to manage your references that you obtain through your research. There is a reference manager that is scalable and search able. You can also create bibliography's in Endnote which references your information for you. With Endnote you can complete the required fields and then it will automatically place these references onto your document where you need them.
Endnote can be a resourceful tool for students who may have problems referencing in the correct manner.
This program can be used in two ways, first you can use it as a reference manager for a research project or a specific assessment. The other way in which it can be used is to us it into MS word which is a bibliography manager for one particular assignment.
Also mentioned during the lecture as well as the tutorial was information on referencing and how extremely important it is for a university student.
