Using a reference management system is vital when you do your final year projects, but can also help you create accurate references in your other assignments. EndNote is one such system which can be used to store references, and then insert the citation in your Word document, automatically building the bibliography for you in the correct style.
There are two versions of EndNote - EndNote Online and Desktop EndNote. For UG and MSc courses I recommend using EndNote Online as it automatically comes with the referencing style you need ('Harvard for Reading') and you will have fewer technical issues. Just follow this step-by-step guide or watch the videos to learn how to register for an account, add references to your EndNote library, and use it with Word.
If you are doing a PhD then Desktop EndNote will be a more appropriate tool.

I also support the use of Desktop EndNote and Mendeley for reference management. Although neither of these automatically come with the custom referencing styles you need for undergraduate and masters level study. If you want to explore these options you can find videos and step-by-step guides in the following pages:
Got a question about the Library, finding information, referencing, literature searching or using EndNote/Mendeley? Or about study skills such as writing assignments/lab reports, time management, using references in your work or preparing for exams?
Then come along to the Library and ASK drop-in for Food and Nutritional Sciences. Your librarian and ASK Adviser will be on hand to discuss your question.
