Recording information
It is a good idea to record the steps that you take to locate your information. This should include:
- the name and contact details of relevant people (this will facilitate follow up, and allow you to include them in the credits of your work if appropriate)
- the details of resources used, including specific database names (AGIS, ERIC, Medline, etc.)
- the search strategy that you have used, including keywords/terms and how you have combined them
It can be useful to record details of where you have obtained research items. This may include details such as obtaining the item using Inter-library Loans (Document Delivery). Note the call number of the item (if a book, printed journal or video etc.) and, if you borrowed the item from a library other than Charles Darwin University, record the name of the Library. This will assist in relocating the item, should this be necessary.
For resources such as books, journals and Internet sites, it is essential for you to record the following details. If an item is a videorecording you should also make a note of this. This information can be used in your bibliography.
You can record this information using EndNote but you should always have a backup copy, whether it is a print system or a second copy of your EndNote library.
