Citation Software

A basic guide to help users get started with Zotero, EndNote and alternative citation tools.

Alternatives to EndNote

As the University will stop licencing Endnote from September 2024, it may be worth familiarising yourself with alternative citing software. Please note, you do not need all of these tools; choose the one that suits you best.


Library Hub Cite Functionality 

A simple way to add citations to your essays and assignments is to use the cite functionality available in the Library Hub.

Books & eBook Search

  1. Click the "Cite" button from the record you want to cite.
  2. Select the Citation Style from the drop down (e.g. Chicago (notes - bibliography) 17th ed.)
  3. Cut and paste the selected citation into your document.

Articles & More Search

  1. When you locate the required resource click "Cite" from the Tools menu.
  2. Scroll down the list until you see Citation Style you require (e.g. Chicago/Turabian: Humanities). 
  3. Cut and paste the selected citation into your document.

NOTE: It is important not to just copy and paste these citations. Always check the citations you download for any minor errors.
