Endnote Web
Are you are struggling with referencing and citing? Here is a useful tool for you which can help you be organized and save time!
Endnote Web will enable you to:
- collate, annotate and organize references from a wide variety of online data sources such as PubMed and Web of Knowledge via direct export, online search, or importing text files.
- create reference lists and add or import citations from other databases into your own personal collection of references.
- share your references with other EndNote Web users
- integrate with MS Word to create in-text references as well as footnotes or endnotes.
The easiest way to set up your EndNote Web account is to go to Web of Knowledge at: http://www.isiknowledge.com/ and on the right hand side of the page you will see a section headed Customize Your Experience. Assuming that you haven’t already registered, click on the Register link and follow the prompts.
Below is a link to a Quick Guide, but please note that some of these features will be easier to enable on your own laptop than on a College PC.

Digimap
You may have noticed that our library has just added Digimap to the A-Z of e-resources:
We now have access to the full collection of all current Ordnance Survey maps at all scales for the whole of Great Britain. This means that these digital maps will be available for use by all students and staff for project work, teaching and research (but not commercial work.) The OS maps will be accessible via the ATHENS login system. Map locations can be searched by grid reference, postcode, gazetteer entry or various other means. Basically type in your postcode and your house pops up in the middle of the screen. These can be printed directly from the online Digimap system, without any additional software, and the PDFs saved to your own computer.
The new interface of Digimap Ordnance Survey Collection by EDINA is much more user-friendly and allow users:
- a more flexible way to pan and zoom the map while selecting data
- to download more than one product for the area they are interested in
- to see how much data of a particular product they can take in a single download
- to improve the delivery of the data
- to access previous versions of products
