Drop-in Sessions - recommencing 9 August 2022

If you would like further support with EndNote, we encourage you to attend one of our drop-in sessions (in-person or online). The sessions begin with a refresher on paraphrasing and referencing as these skills are essential to master (even if you plan to use EndNote!) This is then followed by a session on how to apply referencing and paraphrasing skills using EndNote.

You can attend the full two hours, or just drop-in for some of the session. The sessions are informal and designed to give you the opportunity to ask questions and to develop your paraphrasing, referencing, and EndNote skills.

You can learn more about the content in these sessions below:

Master Paraphrasing and Referencing

How to paraphrase.
