As the 2007-08 school year approaches and you begin to collect readings for your comps, now is a good time to think about how you will organize your research. One possibility is to use EndNote, citation management software that you can use as current Carleton students.
EndNote is software installed on all lab computers. If you’ve taken Bio 125 or 126, you learned to use it from Charlie Priore. You can also download a copy for your personal computer from the library web site. Read more or download a copy.
The earlier you get your personal citation database set up and arranged, the smoother it will be for you to quickly add books and journal articles as you find them. And, best of all, by organizing your bibliography throughout the process, you can avoid last-minute reference-scramble nightmares, and you build a resource to use in the future (if you go to grad school, your future self thanks you).
