EndNote - Bibliographies Fast and Easy

The course is structured as an easy guide to both this useful software (EndNote) and its web version (EndNote Web) for the CEU student which provides valuable assistance to reference-list and bibliography managing in almost no time at all.

Instead of spending hours typing bibliographies, or using index cards to organize their references, they do it the easy way--by using EndNote. EndNote integrates the following tasks into one program:

* Search bibliographic databases on the Internet
* Organize references in a database
* Create bibliographies automatically in your word processor
