<p>Tracey Wilkie (Whakat&#333;hea), a PhD student based at Te Herenga Waka, Victoria University of Wellington was, in October 2019, awarded a Whakauae 2019 - 2020 Summer Studentship. She recently successfully completed the studentship which involved upskilling the Whakauae research team in their use of the software reference library, <em>EndNote</em>.</p>

<p><em>EndNote</em> is a research reference storing programme that allows you to create a customised reference library for use in day to day research work. Through its <em>magic</em>, <em>EndNote</em> provides the ease of inserting references into any manuscript one is writing to reference the literature that you have used to tautoko your own rangahau and/or grant application. This means, gone are the days of manually typing every reference into your manuscript and then creating a manual <em>Reference List</em> at the end of your mahi (whakaute nui for those of you that have and do!). The <em>magic</em> of <em>EndNote</em> is you can have the citation of the reference from your literature library, in your manuscript, with a click of a button.</p>

<p>Research team members had varying degrees of capability and knowledge in relation to <em>EndNote</em> use giving Tracey a wide scope to work within. Her extensive teaching experience proved to be a valuable asset in her studentship mahi. The mahi included Tracey teaching some members of the research team &ldquo;how to use&rdquo; basic tools in <em>EndNote</em> to insert references from their current library, into their manuscripts; to import references from online databases, such as journals, webpages, books, reports; and to manually enter reference data into their EndNote library. Other members of the team more familiar with the <em>EndNote</em> software greatly appreciated working alongside Tracey to extend their user competencies. In addition to facilitating small group training sessions and one on one sessions with each researcher, Tracey also developed a practical resource guide to support the team to be self-sufficient <em>EndNote</em> users.</p>

<p>Tracey found that in working with Whakauae, in a studentship capacity, she was able to enhance her own <em>EndNote</em> skillset and learn new skills, to then teach the team, the &ldquo;how to use&rdquo; of <em>EndNote</em> with more proficiency and more efficiently as a rangahau tool.</p>
