The May webinars from Adept Scientific introduce software to help users manage references and write essays.
UK technical software specialists Adept Scientific are running a series of FREE 1/2-hour webinars to demonstrate just how much time and effort EndNote and EndNote Web could save users when it comes to finding and storing useful references, citing authors and creating bibliographies. These events make an ideal introduction to reference management software; need-to-know information for anyone involved in research, especially for staff and students enrolled at sites with a relevant Chest licence. Please pass on this information to anyone who would benefit from a software overview. Please note that these webinars are not designed to act as software training sessions.
