Filters and download instructions

Database records can be imported into an EndNote library. Some databases use direct exporting of records, others require a filter. The appropriate filter must be used to direct the data into the correct fields.

Use the filter and download instructions guide.

Reference styles

Output styles control the appearance of the in-text citation and bibliography. EndNote has many styles including APA, MLA and Author-Date. A style usually requires editing. Refer to the workbook or attend a class.

• Introduction to EndNote, page 12
• Advanced EndNote, page 8

Note: Author-Date is the closest to the Harvard style used at UOW. A UOW Harvard style will be available soon.

Software

EndNote software can be borrowed from the Library's Short Loans Collection to load onto your home computer.
