Before I was able to use EndNote for the two exercises, I first had to enable the program. Once EndNote was setup, it then enabled the program to be used in Microsoft Word which was needed to complete the exercises.

Using the information in EndNote Exercise 1, I was able to transform the information from that exercise into a referencing library using EndNote (shown above). In using the referencing library I created, I was then able to go on and complete EndNote Exercise 2

This screen shot is of EndNote Exercise 2. I was able to complete this by using the referencing library shown above. The information within the library, was able to be transfered into the document by using citations as well as copying and pasting direct quotes from the available sources.

Reading Summary 1: Endnote

Endnote is able to store references you have personally added within it's program. These references can then be used as in-text and end-text references and citations, usually within Microsoft Word. You do not have to create a reference list as Endnote instantly creates one for you. Endnote ensures that the format of each reference is correct, whether it be a book, journal article or website. Endnote can be used by undergraduates to help with referencing assignments and any other assigned tasks.
