Mr Aaron Tay

Synopsis
NUS Libraries will be conducting online training sessions for EndNote X4, which are highly recommend for students embarking on theses or dissertation writing. EndNote X4 (version 14) is a bibliographic management software that:

  • stores and organizes citations found from many sources into your own library of citations
  • inserts citations into a Word document as in-text citation and in the full list of References
  • automatically formats your references according to a predefined citation style (APA 6th, MLA, IEEE etc.) by a mere click
  • generates a detailed bibliography from your citation library...and much more!

These hands-on sessions will get you started on integrating EndNote into your research workflow so you can produce academic reports more efficiently. Join librarian Aaron Tay in a 'live' online session as he takes you through the use of EndNote. Attendees will be given the opportunity to interact with Aaron and ask questions online.
