ENDNOTE - mmmmmmmmmmmmm.........

Well Hello to our amazing Group :)
I've dabbled with EndNote before and never really been able to master using it, so it has been easier for me to pretend that I don't actually need it.  Silly me!

I'm determined to develop my skills in the use of EndNote so that it's an efficient tool for my successful studies and my career as an Information Manager. 

When we had our tutorial on EndNote a couple of weeks ago, I was able to download the EndNote programme onto my Mac and then, with Huan and my group members' help, I set up the Harvard biblio style into it and then also attached it to word docs and retrieved resources from the R.M.I.T. online Library.  

I've booked myself into the R.M.I.T. Library for a session tomorrow which is called 'EndNote for Beginners (Mac)' and I hope to really have control over the operation of this programme. 

After speaking with Huan last week, I can now see the very useful facets of EndNote and he has clarified my confusion about how to control my list of references that I put into EndNote.  Now that I know that I can create task-specific folders to place my references and information sources into, I'm not as concerned about developing a large uncontrollable list of references as I continue my studies.  

I'm going to share any useful information and/or tricks that I learn at the training session and I hope that this will be of use to everyone, especially those special people in our group.

Cheers,
Susanne

    1. Hi Nouf, It's just important to push yourself I think. Teachers do it all the time, so maybe I'm doing it now? I feel challenged by EndNote and feel like I need to conquer it, so that's what I'm doing :)

    You have inspired me to do a class too. But I need to wait until 21 May- because of the MAC!
    Cheers Luisa
