Important things to know
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW:
- EndNote libraries should be kept on your computer's hard drive. Storing and editing libraries on a network drive can lead to corruption and performance issues.
- EndNote libraries should never be stored in cloud-syncing folders such as DropBox, OneDrive, Box, SugarSync, etc. Syncing folders corrupt EndNote libraries over time.
- Uninstall your previous version of EndNote before installing a new version.
- References in EndNote libraries can be synchronized between desktop and laptop computers, the online library, and an iPad using EndNote Sync.
Ask me
EndNote is a database program for managing bibliographic citations.
- It automates much of the work of organizing and formatting citations and bibliographies in your writing.
- EndNote can connect to online sources such as library catalogs and article databases, output results in over 1,000 different bibliographic styles, and more.
- There are two versions of Endnote -- a standalone desktop program, and EndNote Online/Web, a cloud-based version. If you want to use both, they can be synced so that you have the same references in both places.
