Changes to EndNote bye bye EndNote Web

Thomson Reuters are doing away with the term “EndNote Web”, not the product itself.

The 2 products formally known in this way will equivalent to :-

EndNote- This is the purchased software (available to us on the Cardiff University network) which also gives us access to an online account with 5GB of attachments.

EndNote Basic- This is an online only account. It can be created by anyone and is free to use. Its main limitations are that is has 2GB for attachments and 21 output styles and 5 connection filters. The 21 output styles are listed at the end of this blog post.

EndNote desktop users will get access to all the great time savers like ‘Find Full Text’ and ‘Import PDF’ and on Syncing their Library to their online account, so they can access their reference anywhere in the world, including via a mobile or the iPad app.

We actually see that there is also a 3rd route available to off campus users or distance learners who access EndNote via Web of Knowledge – This one is the “Basic” account but it will have access to all the styles and database connections set up by the University (just like this type of “EndNote Web” account did) but now it also has the 2GB for attachments.

Never pay another library fine….

 

Fines are charged at the University Libraries of 25p per day per book for the simple reason to ensure books are available for other people to use in a predictable way.

You can avoid paying library fines by ensuring your books stay within their loan period.

Login to ‘My Library Account’ to renew your books http://librarysearch.cf.ac.uk
or use the Cardiff University Mobile app to login to your account.

Check your account regularly and renew or return your books on or before the due date.

Let us know if you are having a genuine problem getting books back to us – outside the realm of ‘being abducted by aliens’ or the ‘dog ate it’…we’ll do our best to help you.

The workshop is open to all authors, researchers, and research students who would like to know what they can expect from publishers with regards to Open Access, and what they can ask for.

Wilma Mossinck is a specialist in negotiating publishing contracts, and the workshop will cover the differences between transferring copyright and licensing, and what the new Creative Commons licenses mean in Open Access publishing.
