Module 2 (Using Reference Management Software)

What features in your chosen reference management software can be used to sort, classify, and otherwise organize references? Describe software functionality that allows you to better organize and share information for efficient retrieval and use.

I chose EndNote as my reference management software which allowed my to sort references by the type of article, the date it was published, the author, and the journal. I felt that the ability to create groups and organize references into the groups I created would be helpful in the future into retrieving references. The ability to save the full article as a pfd file would be helpful in organizing references in ways that allow for easy access to information. In the past it has taken my too much effort and time to re-find the full text of articles from pervious searches. This software would eliminate that problem.
