Staff + Student LoginEndNote
EndNote is a bibliographic software program used to manage references (citations) downloaded from databases, library catalogues or created manually. The program automatically formats the saved citations in a number of standard reference formats. EndNote is also capable of saving full-text articles (in PDF format and/or in text).

EndNote disks for Windows and Macs are available at the Lending Desks at the Central and Education libraries.
