Do you like citing information or trying to remember where you got a particular resource? Are you an expert in how to cite information in MLA or APA style? Would you like to insert your citation easily into your paper while you write?

 

If you answered “yes” to any of these, you may end up being a librarian. If that is not your career path, you may want to consider using citation software to manage your sources.

MyEndNoteWeb is a citation and reference organizer that allows you to export bibliographic references from all of our college-owned journal databases or library catalog, as well as other databases that are from outside the College.

For example, if you are using the database Academic Search Premiere and have selected or marked a number of journal articles, you can send them directly to your account in the cloud. When you are ready to write your paper, you can automatically insert the reference in your paper by using Microsoft Word. This is not only a time saver, but also ensures that your citation format is correct.

Signing up for an account is easy. The first time you do this you need to be on campus. Go to www.myendnoteweb.com. Once your account is created, you can collect, organize, and format citations. If you want to install the plugin for Microsoft Word, click on “Options” to get to the Windows and Mac plugins. Once installed, it will add an additional tab in Word that allows you to automatically pull in your references.
