Purpose of EndNote

With EndNote, you can:

  • put all your references into a library of citations
  • create, store, save, edit, and manage those references
  • attach full-text PDFs and annotate them within EndNote
  • import references from Primo Search, Google Scholar and our library databases directly into your EndNote library.

EndNote works with Microsoft Word. This means you can insert in-text citations into your Word document from EndNote and create your reference list.

Getting started with EndNote

It takes time to set up and learn EndNote so we recommend that you begin early. The Library has resources to help you get started.

Our live online library workshop for EndNote runs throughout the year or you can watch a recorded session anytime.

EndNote guide

You can access our comprehensive Library Resource Guide all about EndNote. Use it to help you download and install, start using and managing your EndNote library for your study.
