MANAGING YOUR INFORMATION: ENDNOTE
As you assemble your references and other bibliographic information you
will need to use Endnote
to organise and format your citations. It is worth spending the time to
learn this software as it will save you hours of work later on. Training
and manuals are available and completing the Endnote tutorial is essential. |
