What Is EndNote?
EndNote is a bibliographic management software
program designed to help individuals store, organize, cite
and format bibliographic references
• No more writing out and organizing citations by
hand
• Store all your references, PDF articles, tables,
images, & charts in one place
• No more consulting a style manual every 5 minutes
when you’re writing a research paper or manuscript.

Make sure to use the online
search mode (temporary

won’t be automatically placed
in your permanent library.
