Higher Degree Research Library Checklist: Stay Organised

Kick-start your research now. Identify your strengths, discover new tools and develop your information skills. You'll find it helpful to revisit the checklist at different points throughout your research.

Staying organised saves you time and keeps you up to date

I know how to get the fulltext of articles from databases and borrow Library books.
Review these tutorials.
I can request articles and books from other libraries.
Register here for our free Document Delivery service to request materials not held at UOW.
I keep up to date with new research in my area.
Save time by setting up database alerts. See our Email & RSS Alerts: Keep Up-To-Date guide.
I use a citation tool (e.g. Endnote) to organise my references and link it with Word to produce my bibliography.
Endnote is a software package used to manage bibliographies and references. Our Endnote Guide will teach you what you need to know.
  1. Review the instructions prior to downloading software.
  2. View quick training videos.
  3. Work through our Endnote practical workbook.
  4. Register for a workshop (HDR students.)
