Why use END NOTE?

* It displays a variety of recognised styles of referencing.
* Can be integrated with Microsoft Word.

TUTORIAL:

In tutorials today we had to include examples of referencing five different types of electronic format material:

2. Wikipedia: Bindeez. (n.d.) Retrieved November 24, 2007, from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bindeez

READING 1: "Endnote"

This resource tells you all about Endnote. It tells you what it is, how it works and how to use it. This is very useful and I will definitely be using endnote in my assignments and reports.

READING 2: "Some additional endnote help"

This resource helps with technical support and services. Theres an online users guide which I think is very smart and effective.
