DIVISION OF LIBRARY SERVICES “Very useful. After 20+ years I was "primitive" in my approach and was unaware of EndNote. The journal databases were initially confusing, but make sense now and help a great deal.” “For someone taking up study after a 19 year absence this has been particularly helpful. Thank you.” “I found it very useful and think it would be a good addition to all Masters courses as many students have not studied before or in years. I hadn't studied in years so the tutorial was good for introducing me to Google Scholar and EndNote.”
