An introduction to the bibliography package EndNote and its interface with Microsoft Word. EndNote is a program that stores bibliographic references, and notes about those references, in an EndNote Library.

The style (contents and layout) of the citations and bibliography can then be formatted in an Output Style of your choice; this can easily be changed without retyping.

Relational Database Design Finished 13:00 - 17:00 Balfour Macintosh Room

This course gives a simple introduction to organizing your data in a relational database. It aims to explain the arranging of your data. It does not deal with specific relational databases systems such as Access, Oracle or SQL Server, or the technical tools that you would or could use to set up your database. The course aims to provide you with enough information to sit down and design your database, regardless of the database product that you intend to use. Exercises will be done on paper, without using computers.

The course will cover topics such as file I/O in more detail than either of those two courses. Whilst the course will not cover the use of Python to produce graphical output, some mention will be made of how Python can be used to interface with tools such as gnuplot to produce graphical output of scientific data.

This course does not explicitly cover the object oriented aspects of the Python language.

How to Excel with CUFS (1 of 2) Finished 09:30 - 12:00 Greenwich House: Training Room 1

Have you ever run a report or a screen enquiry in CUFS and thought it would be exactly what you needed if only ...

it was presented in a slightly different format; it didn't spread out over as many pages; or if it combined with data from elsewhere? Or are you currently re-keying data from CUFS into your own spreadsheets because you don't feel that CUFS can meet your needs?

This programme of three short courses will give you some tips that might make your life easier when trying to extract data from CUFS, working with it in Excel and presenting it as meaningful financial information.

The splitting of the programme into three, two-hour sessions provides an opportunity for users to practice and consolidate their learning in between the events. Whereas Part 3 can be attended at any time, it is recommended that users attend Part 1 before Part 2, as we will be building upon the knowledge of the former in the second stage. However, users may if they prefer to wait a month or so before attending the second session.
