EndNote

EndNote is a popular piece of bibliographic software that can be used to manage your references. You can use it with your word processor (best with MS Word) to format notes and bibliographies as your write a paper. Once you have registered with the UMDNJ Libraries, you can download EndNote for use on your own computer. The Libraries currently offer versions 7, X.0.2, and X1 for Windows and Mac and EndNote Web. If you are collaborating with colleagues, be sure that you are all using the same version of EndNote.If you are completely new to EndNote and have no other collaborating requirements, we recommend that you use version X1.

Note that the instructions specify that you must extract (unzip) all files after the download, a process required to enable the UMDNJ license for this product.

More technical notes -

• Versions X.0.2 and X1 are NOT downwardly compatible with version 7 or lower.
• If you are using Versions X.0.2, X1 or later, you need to share the .enl file AND the .Data folder with your colleagues.

EndNote Web

EndNote Web complements EndNote X and X1 by offering a convenient way to access the basic functionality of EndNote online when using multiplecomputers.  Set up of EndNote Web requires individual registration from a UMDNJ authenticated workstation. Once set up, EndNote Web will provide "roaming access" from non-UMDNJ locations without logging in through the proxy server. Details of that configuration are beyond the scope of this exercise, but if you want to make use of the service. EndNote describeds this service at its own website.

Keeping Up with Change

What Next?

In your class exercise you will be asked to construct respond to a number of questions as well as use a small EndNote database to integrate references from that database into a (very) short paper.
