Referencing
When writing essays or assignments, you must acknowledge and cite your sources of information – this is known as referencing.
The video below will teach you what referencing is and what sources you can use.

Create bibliographies with EndNote
You can use EndNote to create bibliographies for your thesis, essay or assignment. It will save you time and reduce the risk of errors. EndNote can be used to:
- store bibliographic records (e.g. details of books, chapters, journal articles, websites, conference papers, theses, reports, etc.)
- automatically generate citations and bibliographies in specific styles (e.g. AGLC4, APA 7, APA 6, Footnote, Harvard) in Word documents
- search and retrieve bibliographic records from library catalogues and journal indexing databases.
