EndNote Desktop: Introduction to EndNote Desktop

What is EndNote?

EndNote is reference management software designed to make your academic life a little easier by allowing you to build a collection of references for your research. It can help take the stress out of referencing properly, helping you organise your lists of references and create bibliographies. It allows you to :

• Find and import references downloaded from library catalogues and databases directly into your own personal EndNote library
• Store, organise and search for references in your EndNote library
• Add citations to your word-processed document and create your bibliography in a number of citation styles

Why use EndNote?

• You need to provide accurate references to all the sources you use to avoid plagiarism - EndNote makes this easier!
• Using EndNote ensures you cite your references in the correct style for your School or purpose

How can I find out more?

• Look at our guides or sign up to an EndNote workshop

Library staff run regular courses on EndNote Desktop. The course is a practical introduction that covers all functionality available in the programme. You can find out more and book your EndNote place online.
