"I went on-line in the library with a loan laptop and used WebCat as well as looking through previous dissertations about 'Evidence Based Practice' - I deleted all the ones from my list that were not relevant - did the research - made a list of the ones I used as I wrote the paper and then sorted them in Word."
(See strategy for using tables in Word for references and there is University of Southampton Webcat tutorial)

"I did not know where to start with all the references I needed for my dissertation but I knew there were far too many lecture notes and books to go through them all to collect the information."
