Description:
EndNote 5.0 is the cure for all that bibliographically ails you: this package is assuredly a one-stop source for researchers, students, and anyone else wishing to catalog some sort of library. Whether you've used EndNote in the past or are starting on your first bibliographical foray, you'll be pleasantly surprised with the powerful features that EndNote 5.0 incorporates. After a quick install, starting a new library is a snap. Creating each new entry, or reference, has a nice rhythm to it. You'll maneuver through any number of fields (EndNote provides several dozen, and you can also add customized fields) by tabbing or clicking, and auto completion will keep you moving along as the software recognizes past entries. And no need to manually save after each entry: every time you change data, EndNote saves. The Cite While You Write technology in EndNote 5.0 allows for even greater integration with Microsoft Word 97 and 2000. This feature allows you to locate and insert citations without leaving your Word document. Because EndNote functions as a Word add-in, you'll find citation commands immediately off the Tools menu in Word. After pulling up a reference by any number of criteria, EndNote automatically inserts the citation and updates your bibliography. You can then format the citation with the Format Bibliography command. If you don't immediately see the style you're looking for, no need to fret: the Style Manager gives you access to the hundreds of styles available, letting you add to your favorite annotative styles. EndNote is well suited to handling professional bibliography work: each reference in a library can hold a total of 64,000 characters, or about 16 pages of text. Additionally, each library can grow to about 32,000 records, or about 32 MB. After entering your references, you've created a venerable library for yourself--searchable and concise. You may also import reference data, which allows you to avoid re-keying any other bibliographic work you've already done in Refer, BibIX, ProCite, or any tab-delimited data from spreadsheets, databases, and word processing applications. EndNote 5.0 has grown to include more than 700 styles, ranging from standards such as The Chicago Manual of Style and APA to lesser-known journal styles ranging from Advances in Agronomy to Yeast. Another feature new to 5.0 is the traveling library. Each formatted citation in your document is saved with field codes that embed reference data in the document. When you share your paper, your citations go with it--even if you and your colleague are not using the same database. A powerful application for academic, professional, and personal use, EndNote 5.0 is a complete resource for gathering and maintaining bibliographic references and sharing your work with colleagues. --Emilie Dirks
