Thanks to proceeds from the student technology fee, the libraries
and the Graduate School are providing free access to popular bibliographic
software, Endnote, which provides correctly styled in-text citations
and bibliographies for scholarly writing. The UGA Libraries spend
more than $1 million annually to provide electronic resources
for the university community.
“Endnote will enable students to use the scholarly electronic
resources available in GALILEO in a much more efficient and organized
manner. They can concentrate on enjoying the research and creative
process, while Endnote provides a solution to organizing their search
results and citation intricacies,” says Virginia Benjamin, electronic
library services liaison. “The student tech fee monies also
will allow us to provide WriteNote, a new Web-based bibliography tool.
WriteNote is an ‘elementary’ version of Endnote, which
will be a gentle introduction to collegiate writing.”
Endnote’s features include an interface with GALILEO databases
that offers streamlined transfer of complete bibliographic information,
including keywords and abstracts, without manual typing. The program
stores the researcher’s notes until they are needed while writing.
“The writing process is always made longer by the inevitable
search for references,” says ecology doctoral student Laura
Ediger. “I’ve used Endnote not only to make bibliographic
work more efficient when writing, but also as a speedy tool for searching
databases. With interfaces for many journal databases as well as university
library catalogues, Endnote makes it easier to quickly find sources
by topic or bibliographic information, much faster than Web-based
library search tools. As more and more databases and catalogues become
accessible through Endnote, the value increases.”
