Creating syllabi
Author: Yochi Cohen-Charash    Posted: Wed, 07 Aug 2002 20:13:31 -0400
Hi Listers, I am building a seminar syllabus now, which means having sub-headings and under each complete references that students need to read. In essence, multiple RL in the same document, where the references appear at the body of the text rather than at its end. Any suggestions on how to accomplish that?

Hello, Here's a scheme I devised back in May for someone creating a stand-alone Bibliography sorted by format that may be of interest and might suit your purposes. First is a short (unstyled) example of the outcome. Don't be distracted because all my "customized" references are actually journal articles and not what the format header says; I was mainly trying to get numerous a-z lists in a specific arrangement so I mislabeled records just to have them compile into different groupings : Periodicals Bernard, B. A., R. S. Wilson, et al. (1998). "Affective and behavioral symptoms in African Americans with Alzheimer's disease or vascular dementia." Journal of Mental Health and Aging 4(1): 97-104. Bonner, G., P. B. Gorelick, et al. (1999). "African American caregivers' preferences for life-sustaining treatment." Journal of Ethics, Law, and Aging 5(1): 3-15. Printed works Auchus, A. P. (1997). "Dementia in urban black outpatients: initial experience at the Emory satellite clinics." Gerontologist 37(1): 25-29. Baker, F. M. (1991). "Dementing illness in African American populations: evaluation and management for the primary physician." Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry 24(1): 73-91. Baker, F. M., D. V. Espino, et al. (1993). "Assessing depressive symptoms in African American and Mexican American elders." Clinical Gerontologist 14(1): 15-29. Unpublished works Albert, S. M., C. C. Castillo, et al. (1999). "Proxy-reported quality of life in Alzheimer's patients: comparison of clinical and population-based samples." Journal of Mental Health and Aging 5(1): 49-58. Ballard, E. L., F. Nash, et al. (1993). "Recruitment of black elderly for clinical research studies of dementia: the CERAD experience." Gerontologist 33(4): 561-565. { ADDIN ENBbu } Instead of the formats you could substitute your syllabus subheadings/chapters. And insert whatever text you wanted in the sections. Glancing at it below, the process looks rather involved... but you could see if it (or parts of it) might work for your purposes.. *****start of instructions****************** It seems to me this is an opportunity to use an Endnote Custom field! 1. Decide on the standard phrases you will use for each heading -- there's no limit --Printed Works, Unpublished Works, Periodicals, etc. But you will want to be consistent in their use so the character string will always match. 2. Create a Custom field called My Bibliographies (Edit/Preferences/ReferenceTypes/ModifyReferenceTypes/scroll down to Custom fields 1-6), label one custom field My Bibliographies and paste it across all formats in that numbered custom field 3. For each En record, assign the standard bib phrase of your choice 4. If you want the headers to appear in special order, add a prefix a, b, c, d, etc. to the phrases so they will sort in the order you want, ie. aprintedworks, bperiodicals, cunpublished, ddissertations, etc. Anything to get them to presort in the library list by the phrase so you can just select all in order from first to last... And keep your alpha-phrase list handy so, over time, as you add records to the library you can assign the correct phrase 5. Then at the time you want to compile your bibliography into a document, you could modify your Display Fields list (Edit/Preferences/DisplayFields)and add Custom x to a high category (perhaps along with Author and Year perhaps as second and third sorts; however you want your bibliography to be arranged within each category) 6. Then in the list header, click Custom x header and it will alphabetize all the phrases! your subsort year or author can be chosen in the Sort Library options under References or you can finalize it in Display Fields when you add Custom x to the mix... 7. Decide on the Style you want... Say if you chose APA5, modify it (first Saving As APA5bib) with a. Don't Sort as Sort Order for Citations and b. Order of Appearance as Sort Order for Bibliography. 8. Then I highlighted all of the records in my list that were labeled custom x...they were already sorted in phrase clumps and within each phrase by first author then year... 9. So I inserted them into my document and Formatted bibliography... Then I just inserted the headers and line spaces appropriately throughout the list... **********end of instructions*********** Others on the list may have more elegant solutions! <smile> have a nice day, virginia virginia benjamin univ. of georgia libraries athens, ga. 30602 Date sent: Wed, 07 Aug 2002 20:13:31 -0400 To: Endnote "endnote-interest" From: Yochi Cohen-Charash "yochi_cohen-charash" Subject: Creating syllabi Send reply to: "endnote-interest" > Hi Listers, > > I am building a seminar syllabus now, which means having sub-headings and > under each complete references that students need to read.

These are some other ideas, in addition to that suggested by Virginia. I assume that you also want to have the citation in the text of the syllabi, then want to create a sub-bibliography for each section. I haven't tried any of the below (except the first, which I use now and again) 1) The easiest way is to use the ^K or copy formatted (rather than ^C, copy) the records in Endnote library and cut the whole reference into the text. This assumes that the document remains static. You can then just choose the references and sort them alphabetically once they are inserted under each topic. 2) I suppose another option is to use different delimiters for the records in each section <>,[], {} etc, and format each section and move the endnote references to the right place. I actually don't know if this works though. You might have to unlink the fields before doing the next group, or else endnote is likely to replace the first bibliography with the second one.... Making it a static document again. 3) Keep each section in a separate document, until the end and then joining them all into one? 4) Fool around with using footnotes, then copying them to where you want them in the document?

This is pretty elegant itself, Virginia! One thing which you might want to use in conjunction with your custom field is a Term List with just your standard phrases/headings and link it to that field (see manual for clear explanation of process). That way the auto-completion would help maintain consistency of entry. I use a similar system to grade the relevance of references for my research with values like "1-Central", "2-Major", "3-Fair", "4-Possible" and "5-Irrelevant". You may think the latter is slightly obsessive, but it helps when you come across something which you can't believe you've missed judging by the title, only to find that it's a false positive. If you keep a note of it, then you don't have to repeat all the work tracking it down to tell you something you'd found out a year or more before!

Hi people I´m interesting to perform an analysis of publications stered in my EndNote 5.0. Since the program seems to be a relacional database is there any possibility to export the references in a format where the fields are converted in columns in a Excel file? The option Export only produce text files or htm files. -----Mensagem original----- De: "listmaster" "mailto:listmaster" nome de Wiedemann, Leanne Enviada em: quinta-feira, 8 de agosto de 2002 15:13 Para: "endnote-interest" Assunto: RE: Creating syllabi These are some other ideas, in addition to that suggested by Virginia.
