EndNote for the Sciences

This is an introductory class that will give you hands-on experience in using Endnote X with several Sci-Tech databases. We will also discuss My EndNote Web and how it differs yet compliments EndNote X.

Below you will find the list of scientific or engineering databases we will be using for our class. EndNote X works differently in each database. Our intention is not to cover every scientific or engineering database but to familiarize you with the program and demonstrate the steps you may need to follow when creating bibliographies in various databases.

If you need additional assistance please contact Jan Carver - Science Library or Sue Smith - Shaver Engineering Library.

Compendex - Compendex covers all fields of engineering from 1882 to present.

GeoRef - American Geological Institute's geoscience database containing over 2.2 million citations, many with abstracts, of North America since 1785 and other areas of the world since 1933.Please note that it is limited to 8 simultaneous users.

Chemical Abstracts (SciFinder Scholar) - Includes extensive coverage of general chemistry and chemistry-related disciplines such as biochemistry, materials science, physical chemistry, pharmacy and chemical engineering. It indexes over 8,000 journals, patents worldwide, technical reports, conference proceedings, books, and dissertations, and contains over 16 million abstracts.

Web of Knowledge - This multidisciplinary research database platform includes Web of Science. Web of Science includes Science Citation Index Expanded (1945 - ), Art and Humanities Citation Index (1975 - ), and Social Sciences Citation Index (1956 - ). Please note that it is restricted to 15 simultaneous users.

Use the drop-down box to make your database selection, but note that you can only register for My EndNote Web at the Web of Knowledge homepage.
