Have you ever thought about building your own library at home? As a book lover, I have bought, read and collected books since I began to learn how to read and write at the age of six. The stories and knowledge that books contain always charm me and give me a great pleasure. As l grew up, as many book lovers do, I tired to build my own library in my little room. I imitated what librarians do to categorize and label my books in my own way. I even keep a notebook to write down my reflections after reading. All my effort, however, was not very efficient due to my ever-growing collection and the limited space I have. I could not even keep my records and notebooks in a systematic way. I might remember something valuable and interesting from my recent reading, but after a couple of weeks, the information got lost in the jungle of books, and I needed to search for the information all over again.

With EndNote, all these difficulties are overcome. Now, all I need to do is to key in the information of my books and keep my own records in a systematic way. Like a real librarian, I can search every reference and book title within seconds in my digitalized library. So for me, EndNote, does not only help me to better my academic career but also fulfills my dream- to build my own digitalized library at home!
