About EndNote

What is EndNote?

EndNote is a software program that helps you organise your research. EndNote allows you to:

  • Record, store and manage references
  • Add references manually or search and download directly from online databases and library catalogues
  • Use a feature called Cite While You Write which allows you to insert references and automatically create bibliographies for your papers

If you are having difficulties with EndNote, please check the Frequently Asked Questions page of this guide before contacting Library staff.
