Welcome
Welcome to this library guide for BE2001 Undergraduate Biomedical Engineering Seminar. This guide will contain resources from the library sessions (10/13 and 10/20) that will support you both in this course and in other BE courses at Tech. Prior to these sessions, please download EndNote (instructions below). In the meantime, if you have any questions about EndNote, the library, or finding & using sources, Ask Us!

Create an Account (Optional)
If you would like to sync your references across devices, share reference lists with another user, or use EndNote online without the desktop software, you will need to make an EndNote account. If you intend to use the program just on the device you have downloaded it to, this is optional.
Zotero - the EndNote Alternative
EndNote is not the only citation management software available. Some users find that the open-source software Zotero works better for their needs. Feel free to check out the library's Zotero Guide for more information.
