1. To edit the spacing, font, etc. for EndNote formatted documents, after you’ve added your bibliography, look on the EndNote toolbar in the Word document, find “bibliography,” to the right of it is a dropdown.

Now click the layout tab. Under “line spacing,” click the dropdown to double. Click ok. You may need to click “Update Citations and Bibliography” to get the changes to show.

2. How to deal with capitalization in EndNote for APA. In EndNote, you’ll see a style listed on the left-hand side. Change this to the style you want. If you don’t see the style listed, one of your options should be select another style.

For example, let’s pick APA 6th-Annotated

Edit –> output style manager –> edit APA 6th-Annotated
on the left: under Bibliography, choose title capitalization, pick sentence style
under Footnotes, do the same

Click the X and you will be prompted to save
Agree and then I would suggest saving as a copy.

Now change the style to APA 6th–Annotated Copy and you are good to go!

Creating an Annotated Bibliography using EndNote

Posted on: |

To do an annotated bibliography in EndNote:

 

In EndNote –>change style to APA 6th Annotated

Select your references (ctrl to pick selected references or ctrl a if you want all of them)

From edit menu –> copy formatted

Open Word

Paste

Add in your annotations

Change font, spacing as needed

 

Note: this takes out the endnote coding so you could make edits to the citation in Word if you need to.

OT 346 Class Notes

Posted on: |

If you’re like most people, you work off of different computers. Perhaps you use the ones in our library or in a lab or maybe you go between a laptop or a desktop.

One of the most common questions we get about using EndNote concerns the best way to access your library among these different devices.

Enter EndNote Online, once you’ve downloaded the software and created your library, go to Edit –> Preferences –> Sync.

If you’re doing this for the first time, click “enable sync,” you’ll be prompted to sign up.

You can download plugins for your browser off of the EndNote Online site and you can save your references there.

This 13 minute video explains the process in more detail:

For those of you who want to continue using EndNote post-graduation, EndNote assures us they do not delete your accounts or your data. However, you’ll need to keep your buffalo.edu email address. You can do this by filling out this form within 180 days of your graduation.

NPR did a piece earlier this week about a study that found when school children paid for their cafeteria lunches with debit cards, they were more likely to purchase cookies or candy. Those paying cash tended to buy more fruits and vegetables.

The study was published in Obesity by Just and Wansink. If you access it through PubMed at this link, you will be able to get to the full text.

Read the piece at NPR here or listen to it here.
