EndNote X9 is a desktop based reference management tool for Windows and Macs which helps you to build libraries of references and insert them into your Word document as in text citations or footnotes and automatically generate bibliographies. This introduction to EndNote is open to all. The workshop will run in two parts:

Part 1 provides an introduction to reference management, a basic introduction to EndNote itself and there will be the opportunity to create an account for EndNote Online and synch it with the desktop version of EndNote.

If you feel confident about reference management and are already familiar with the basics of EndNote, you can attend just part 2 if you wish.

Part 2 will explore the features available in EndNote, more advanced functionalities and how to insert citations into documents.
By the end of the session you will be able to:

• Understand EndNote and what it can do for you
• Add references to EndNote from a range of sources
• Manage PDFs
• De-duplicate references in an EndNote library
• Add in text citations and /or footnotes to your essays and papers
• Create bibliographies

Intended Audience:  Oxford students, researchers and other staff.

For any postgraduate students, researchers and university staff based on the Old Road Campus or in Medical Sciences Division departments elsewhere in Headington, there are Medical Sciences specific workshops on EndNote which you may prefer to attend.

Incompatibility with recent MacOS update

Please be aware that Apple have recently released an update to their MacOS operating system called 10.15 Catalina. Unfortunately the update is causing various incompatibility problems with a range of software, including EndNote. If you plan to bring a personal Mac device to the EndNote workshop, we would advise delaying the update to 10.15 Catalina until compatibility issues are fixed, otherwise you may not be able to use EndNote. We will let you know if this issue is fixed ahead of the workshop. If you have any questions, please contact usered@bodleian.ox.ac.uk.

Presenters:  Helen Bond; Becci Hutchins; Lydia Wright

Format:  Presentation with practical exercises

What you will need? A computer will be provided. If you prefer to bring your own laptop, please read our guidance notes.

If attending only part 2, please make sure you have set up EndNote Online (https://access.clarivate.com/login?app=endnote) in advance of the workshop and that it is synched with EndNote (desktop).
