University Libraries

EndNote is a reference management tool that helps you to easily gather together your references in one place, organize them, and then insert them into papers and format them in a style of your choosing. This session will walk you through the basics of using EndNote to collect and format your citations.

EndNote can also store full-text articles if the library has an electronic subscription.  The class will be hands-on and there will be time for questions at the end.

EndNote Desktop is available free to faculty, staff and graduate students from ITS.

Our next session:
Thursday, August 11, 10:00 – 11:00 am (Information Commons East, Hardin Library)

No time for class?  See our guide to EndNote Desktop.

The UI Libraries migrated to a new library catalog in July.  This change means you need to change your EndNote settings in order to find full-text articles. Below are instructions on how to make the changes on a PC. For more instructions on using EndNote, visit the website (EndNote Desktop tip sheet for PCs | EndNote Desktop tip sheet for Macs) or contact your librarian. Full text availability is limited to journals the UI Libraries subscribe to electronically which have full text available.

ANDRES DE LAGUNA (1499-1560). Anatomica methodus, seu De sectione humani corporis contemplatio. Paris: Apud Ludovicum Cyaneum, 1535. 

Andrés Laguna

Laguna, a native of Segovia, Spain, began his education in medicine at Paris in 1532. While in Paris he published his first three books and became acquainted with Vesalius.

By 1539,  Laguna published over 30 books, many on medical botany–one of his great interests. This work is one of his earliest and was simultaneously published in Paris by Jacob Kerver.  Laguna notes in the dedication that he spent only three months preparing the work and comments that, in his view, the medical profession of his day had fallen to a very low state.

from Anatomica methodus, seu De sectione humani corporis contemplatio by Laguna

Written in a forthright manner, the book has a strong personal tone and cites few authorities but generally supports the views of Aristotle and Galen. Laguna begins his anatomy with the mouth because that is where the nutritive process is initiated and finishes with the brain where the spirits receive their complete transmutation. He cites few personal observations or autopsies and adds little to the progress of anatomy.
