Citation
It is essential that any references used in your research projects are cited correctly. A reference list is an indication of how widely you have read for the topic. This record also allows any relevant papers to be found at a later date. The most important aspect of citing is to be consistent.
The Library's publication, How To Cite References, which discusses various citation styles, is available for consultation online.
Please remember that there are specific citation rules for electronic resources. The guides give examples of these materials.
Students should also read Murdoch University's policy on academic integrity and avoiding collusion and plagiarism.
EndNote
EndNote for Windows is a software package that allows you to manage your references electronically. You can search databases, organise your references in a single database and create bibliographies and reference lists automatically in your word processor. For Honours and Postgraduate students it is considered a particularly valuable tool. Look at the Library's EndNote site for further information about the software and details on how to get access to it.
The Library holds introductory training sessions aimed at users without experience in using the EndNote software. The Library's Information Skills Training page provides details of classes that are available.
Classes & Programs
During the year the Murdoch Library regularly offers training in citing and referencing, as well as EndNote.
These classes are available to all University staff and students. Details are posted on the Information Skills Training page.
Postgraduate students should also refer to their Generic Skills Programme for details of Library related workshops.
Student Learning
