Choosing my Referencing Technology!!!

 I had a good look at the referencing page on the Technology Toolbox and read up about each of the referencing technologies, i.e. EndNote, Zotero and Mendeley. As i was navigating through the Murdoch University website I discovered that the University has purchased a license for EndNote X6 that enables students to download the software to their computer and use it throughout their studies. I also noticed in the learning guide for this unit that it has a section dedicated to EndNote and how to download it. EndNote is also free for Murdoch students so i decided i would go with it!!!!!






I read the instructions carefully on how to download EndNote to your own computer and i thought yes I can do this! Little did I know I was going to struggle to read the instructions properly and not be able to download it.. I thought that possibly having a Macbook was my problem as to why it wouldn't download on my laptop so i decided that I would go into the Murdoch IT Department in the library and see if they could help me out! As so as I went in there they helped me download it straight away and it worked first go when they helped me out. So off i went.. I was so happy I finally had EndNote downloaded.

I started looking around the EndNote program so I would start having some idea of how to input the correct details into my chosen resource type.. It seemed really simple so far so I decided I would do a trial and error to see if I could properly use this referencing technology. I used the webpage that I was going to be using for my Word Document. YAY I got it the first time I input the details into EndNote!!!
Now I think I'm ready to start my screen casting video..

Wish me luck!!!!!
