Module II - 2

I have been using Endnote X for the past 3 years and have absolutely loved the feature of searching from within Endnote itself and then being able to create my library from my search results without having to import. Beyond the search strategies that I used, Endnote allows sorting by author name, publication date, article title or URL. It is much the same as the sort feature in Excel and makes it easy to find citations immediately. I used the abstract as a sort feature as well when I was looking for a particular article that I couldn't recall. The abstract helped me remember what the article was about and I could read it right there in my citation list without having to open the article to view. In addition, it's easy to import or export to other files, copy citations into other libraries or documents from the view pane below the selected citation, and insert citiations directly into a document that allows for immediate reference listings at the end of the document. Love ENDNOTE...although it took me a few tries and many "help" sessions to figure out how to do what the manual said I could do.
