EndNote: Hilary Jasmin, Health Sciences Library

“As a librarian who collaborates in the research and writing process on a daily basis, I use EndNote to collect, organize, and disseminate references. Such an important component of information literacy is the understanding that scholarship is a conversation, and that conversation requires engaging in the references and attributions of the articles we read! To support faculty research efforts, I use varying databases to find citations and abstracts based on the topic requested by the respective faculty. After finding relevant literature, I export those citations to EndNote where I can organize, find full-text PDFs of the references, and create libraries for faculty to use in their grant proposals, manuscripts, and lab-based projects. I also use EndNote when co-authoring; the Cite While You Write function of EndNote allows me to quickly embed citations into our manuscript instead of manually entering and formatting them!”
