Endnote, Mendeley and RSS

Spring Resolution…Organize those citations and articles! Free drop-in workshops…no reservations needed.

EndNote, a citation management database, is designed to help you import (from journal databases, etc.) collect, organize, and save bibliographic citations/references, and to insert citations directly into research papers using any one of hundreds of style formats. We will demo some of EndNote Web’s features too.
