Referencing tool - Endnote

 In class yesterday we were interacting with our groups to share ideas, information and to help each other out if needed. It was a great way to get feedback from peers and to see how they were going in the unit. After having issues downloading the Endnote (sometimes instructions are not as easy as they seem!) Rebecca helped me to over come this issue which I am glad to have her help as I didnt think I was ever going to work it out. I learnt more about the referencing tool through the screencasting example that  Tomaz showed us, that featured on how to use Endnote. My issue I am finding at the moment is that I can not download this video on screen-casting to watch it again to know how to use it. I need to have more of a look and a play but at the moment I am finding Endnote quiet confusing and complicated.

I looked at a few of the other referencing tools available through LMS. I found that everyone was going with Endnote as it had been primarily discussed in our lecturers during the week. Also Murdoch provided free access to it which was another reason I chose it. I was going to download the other resources to see how they worked and what was easier, but didn't want to use up my memory on my computer. Some of the other referencing tools that were suggested in the lectures were Mendeley and Zotero
