What is EndNote?

EndNote is a bibliographic management tool which allows you to add references manually or automatically from databases to your EndNote Library.

EndNote allows you to organise your research and collect your citations into a searchable library which can be accessed via the EndNote software and via a cloud-based version. As you write your essay or thesis, references can be inserted in-text in the Word document and your reference list is created at the end of the document.

It is also possible to create an EndNote Online account giving you access to a cloud-based library wherever you are. The original desktop library can be set to synchronise with the cloud-based account, keeping both versions up-to-date.
