EndNote is a bibliographic software program that is now available to all faculty and students through the St. Olaf College network server. This program allows faculty members to (1) create their own personal library databases, (2) continually add to those library databases by searching and downloading bibliographic information from online indexes, and (3) quickly insert in-text citations and generate bibliographies from those libraries into their own writing projects.
EndNote's personal libraries can include all kinds of reference types (from the books on your office shelves to online journal articles), provide expansive entry fields for notes, abstracts, keywords and other information and can be sorted and searched in a variety of ways. Citations inserted into article or book manuscripts through EndNot can be formatted (and easily reformatted) into hundreds of styles used by scholarly associations and journals in the natural sciences, social sciences and humanities. EndNote works with many word-processing programs but is especially attuned to work with Word.
Charlie Priore and Sheri Breen will lead our training session on January 31. Both have been teaching students how to use EndNote during fall semester and are looking forward to showing faculty members how bibliographic software can aid their research and scholarly writing projects. The session will include a demonstration of EndNote's capabilities and hands-on training.
