What is EndNote? EndNote is a bibliographic management program designed to import, store and organise your references. The program can automatically create and format bibliographies and in-text citations in many different referencing styles. An EndNote library may be equated to a file or folder containing the references you have found. A library can contain up to 100,000 references. It is possible to create several libraries, but it is strongly recommended that you work with one library only for a particular assignment or your thesis. If you want to store your references separately for each section/chapter, use the Groups feature. For a more comprehensive guide, please go to http://www.waikato.ac.nz/library/study/guides/endnote

Getting Started The University of Waikato has a site licence that allows students to install EndNote on home computers for free. To download to your personal computer go to http://digital.liby.waikato.ac.nz/endnote/install/ EndNote is installed on the majority of University computers; if EndNote is not installed on a computer you are using, please contact the computer support person for your department/faculty. University computers are updated with the latest filter, connection files and Styles required for correct and current referencing. If you are not using a university computer please ensure that you visit http://digital.liby.waikato.ac.nz/endnote/

Create a New Library

 Go to Start Programs EndNote.

 Click on Create a New Library.

 The first time you start EndNote after installation a screen appears showing the features of Endnote, close it.

NB: You can open, close and save a Library from the file menu.

NB: There are a number of options for accessing your

library from multiple computers, including

synching with EndnoteWeb and storing it on a USB. Talk to your subject librarian for

your best option
