What is EndNote?

• It is a Software package to manage bibliographic
  references
• EndNote is the main package used at University of
  Manchester and is available on Cluster PCs
• The University of Manchester has a site licence.
  You will need an off-site licence for your own PC
  (check Adept Scientific website for current
  prices)
• Web of Science has a free version of Endnote
  called Endnote Web

EndNote is useful for

• Storing, organising and formatting references in
  your own EndNote Library (.enl files)
• Importing references from bibliographic databases
  (such as PsycInfo)
• Creating bibliographies for your assignments

And - did you know that

• Each library can store unlimited numbers of
  references
