The Graduate Business and Economics Library will be running an EndNote workshop on 20 September from 10 am to 12 noon.

EndNote software is used to manage references and create bibliographies for assignments, theses and articles.

During this session you will learn how to:
• set up your own EndNote “library” - a database of all your readings
• input records from databases or the Library catalogue - journal articles, books, conference papers and more
• use EndNote with your word processor to write papers, reading lists and bibliographies.

To book in for a session, please email Jennifer Creese: j.creese@library.uq.edu.au.

Virtual tours of the Graduate Economics and Business Library and the Social Sciences and Humanities Library are available online.

Let your mouse do the walking and find out:

* about the library’s facilities
* how to book lockable desks, single study and group study rooms
* what quarto books are
* which Business and Economics theses are available for loan.
