EndNote Basics

EndNote Basics Guide: for training videos, adding references, working in word, and more.

When downloading EndNote from the Libraries' webpage, make sure you login and your name appears on the right side of the page. You can go to Everything, make sure you are signed in and then go to the EndNote page to download the software. If you are still having trouble downloading the software, switch your browser to FireFox.

Citing Surveys and Observations

Surveys:

"Since a survey you conducted yourself is not published elsewhere by someone else, you do not cite it in the same way you cite other materials. Instead, in your paper you describe your survey and make it clear that the data you’re referring to is from the survey, usually by saying so in introductory sentences. In your paper, you should include a short overview of your survey method: whom the survey was administered to, how it was administered, how many responses you got, and what kind of questions you asked. You should include a copy of the survey instrument (the full set of questions asked) as an appendix to your paper. You do not need to include your survey in your reference list." Purdue Owl

"Personal surveys conducted by students are: Cited in-text only. Not published works, so they are not included on the References page. Example of an in-text citation of a survey you conducted:

First and Middle Initials Last Name (Survey, Date, Year)

Example: According to the student survey conducted by M.A. Jewell, students prefer to save money on textbooks by using rental books. (Survey, Date, Year)."  Baker Library

Citing in Presentations

When citing sources within a presentation, you can include your references as in-text citations on each slide or provide a reference list slide at the end of your presentation with corresponding in-text citations or combine these and have in-text citations and a reference list.

Make sure your audience knows where you obtained the information, visuals, and other materials you used in the presentation.
