Spring 2017 EndNote Workshops, February & March

If you want to learn the basics of the citation management software, EndNote, sign up for the free workshop on in Hodges Library Room 211.   To sign up for the class, email endnote@utk.edu.  Spring 2017 workshops will be held:

• Wednesday, February 1, 3:30-5 p.m.

EndNote is a software program you can use to organize citations and automatically generate them for publications.  Zotero is an open source alternative to using EndNote.

Do you have a question about EndNote, or wonder whether EndNote or Zotero is right for you?  Librarians at Pendergrass are here to help!  Contact a librarian and ask for help using EndNote or Zotero.

To download and learn more about citation management software, visit the EndNote Guide and Zotero Guide. EndNote is free to all current UT students, faculty, and staff, and Zotero is free for everyone.
