Description
This class introduces the basic features of bibliographic management (managing a database of references from PubMed or Ovid Medline and creating a manuscript and bibliography) using EndNote and RefWorks. You'll have the opportunity to "test drive" both products to see which is the best fit for you.
Please note: the class is designed to be an overview of both products. If you are an experienced user in need of a refresher, you may find a Housecall more useful. For questions, or to arrange for a Housecall or a class for a group, please contact Pamela White (Pamela_White@urmc.rochester.edu or 276-3475).
Can't wait for a class? Try the RefWorks interactive tutorials or the EndNote tutorials.
