What is EndNote?

EndNote is a program which enables you to organise bibliographic references and produce reference lists in a range of standard and custom styles.

• The reference style can be simply changed by selecting a different output style. New output styles can be created and existing styles modified as required.
• References can be manually entered into EndNote using one of the predefined templates or downloaded into your EndNote library from one of a number of CSU Library databases. Connection files can be used to search the Library catalogue, and copy bibliographic details of selected books directly into an EndNote library.
• Electronic copies of documents, e.g. PDF, Word documents, images, can be attached to records in your EndNote library, making managing and accessing documents easier.
• Reference lists, lists of tables and lists of figures can be created directly from EndNote, or generated automatically from citations included in the text of your documents using the 'Cite While You Write' feature.
