I think you can also make notes in Mendeley about the important aspects of a paper.
Fleecy can you request that the library get a subscription? Or ask your supervisor to? Our library is really good for things like that

I just do footnotes with Word. I used Endnote for a dissertation a few years ago and it was good at the time, but doesn't do the correct style for my current work. To be honest, using Word isn't that hard and even if Mendeley will add the references I am not sure I would bother. I just wanted a synchronised storage and indexing thing so I can work on different computers.

I am also a big fan of dropbox for syncing documents between laptop and desktop, I also have it on my tablet so I can refer to course handbooks and for presentation notes

Good point, Linds, I'll see if I can ask someone.
Mendeley is great, isn't it? And free, unlike EndNote Uni have EndNote available on campus, but the majority of my reading is done at home, so it just works better for me. I'm sure I don't use the half the functionality it has, but the search function is excellent, so I do tend to just dump it all in a big heap and search for what I need when I need it. For reference lists it has millions of different styles available, I tend to just copy and paste the citations. You can change the view of the table so that just the citations are shown. I usually write stuff in Scrivener and then stick it all in Word for editing, so I just tidy up the in-text refs as I go.

I'm fortunate in that I have refworks for referencing which is very easy-to-use software!
On the plus side today: I finished my last tutorial worksheet and I received a much higher mark than expected in my mathematics module.
On the negatives. I am behind on my revision timetable (5 exams this summer) and I am all too aware that I am avoiding the hard bits of my course in revision...especially thermodynamics -.-

Great idea for a thread! I'm in my fifth year (of six) at the moment, studying medicine.
As far as the current thread topic goes, I use Endnote. It's so customisable that it matches up with any style you need, and the Endnote Web feature means you can pick up where you left off any computer, PC or Mac. Double check whether your Uni offers any deals with Endnote... it took a bit of digging, but I found that both of my Unis offer a free Endnote subscription for students... they keep it fairly quiet though!
