Module #3, question #2

I initially started a search to help me learn how to organize staff education files, but since I am soon going to be teaching a class on end of life issues, I switched my search focus. I tried to upload the free version of Endnote, but after it was loaded, I was unable to open it due to a computer problem. I think it is related to a security block. I was able to load the Bibus reference management software and it was very user friendly....it took me about 6 hours to finally figure out that I would need to use a different program.
The Bibus software is able to search for and organize articles. I like that I can select one article and see a quick overview without leaving the bibus site. This is a very fast way to find and choose articles that are relevant to a specific chosen subject. I was frustrated that I couldn't get Endnote to work for me (that is where I spent most of my time), but I am happy with the bibus software and it will be helpful to me as I research the end of life issues information that I will teach in March. Even though this was a hard assignment for me, I am glad that I finally was able to get it done.
