I just purchased EndNote and have watched the tutorial re: online searches. My question is, how do you know which data bases to select to get started. There are so many and I don’t know which ones to choose. My subject area is higher education and leadership development. Any suggestions…just can’t get started.
I am not in your field, but I would think that something like ERIC http://www.eric.ed.gov/ would be one place to go. I have no idea if you need to subscribe to this. - The connections files (I tried CSA and EBSCO) appear to need a log in, but I was able to download to Endnote from the ERIC site, using the my clipboard/export options. There may be other databases, that others in the field might know to recommend.
Have fun!
