5 comments:
At this stage everybody should have a USB keyring for saving their work to - The G: drive has been failing too often to rely on it anymore.
If you are not sure how to write a paper, just write an essay but break it up into sections with appropriate headings -
introduction,
summary/conclusion
and any other headings as appropriate
Length
I am happy to leave this open ended. If you really need a number, lets say 2 or three pages for the main text but I'm not going to be strict
It's a good idea to use the online databases in the library for your research
e.g. goto WIT library webpage.
click "Going online"
click "Databases"
select "SPORTDiscus With Full Text"
and search this.
you should be able to export references and then import them into EndNote
Importing references from EBSCOhost:
Use Internet Explorer to load up the WIT library online database search http://library.wit.ie/GoingOnline/Databases/
Scroll down and use SPORTDiscus With Full Text.
When you find a paper of interest click the “Export to Bibliographic Manager” button.
You MUST select the second option “Generic bibliographic management software” and then click SAVE.
Finally in EndNote X2,
select File | Import
Make sure to select the Import Option “ISI-CE”
Then browse to the file that you saved above and finally click IMPORT
