Attend an EndNote Drop-in Session
EndNote is a software to help you manage your referencing (and it’s free for Flinders’ students). The drop-in sessions begin with a refresher on paraphrasing and referencing - as these skills are essential to master (even if you use EndNote). This is then followed by a session on how to apply referencing and paraphrasing skills using EndNote. Learn more about the sessions below.
Days: Tuesdays and Thursdays
Time: 12pm – 1pm (attend the full hour, or just drop-in for some of the session).
Location: The Commons (Level 2 Central Library Bedford Park) or online via Microsoft Teams (use this link to join the session at the times listed).
This drop-in session will cover:
- Defining referencing and paraphrasing and why these skills are important (even if you plan to use EndNote).
- How to paraphrase.
- Typical referencing formats and how to integrate these into your writing.
- How to extract information to reference: e.g., book, chapter in a book, journal articles, webpages with author, webpages with organisation.
These sessions are informal, and you will have the opportunity to ask questions throughout.
