EndNote: For users

You can use EndNote to organize all of your reference materials, keep notes about materials, and even copies of the original articles. EndNote can do so much that it can appear overwhelming at first, but we have resources to help you get started.

Tips for getting started with EndNote

• Although you can create as many EndNote libraries as you want, you can only sync and share one of them. It is best to use only one library if you wish to all your references available on all your computers, online, and on your iPhone or iPad, then use groups to organize the library into categories.
• If there are references you do not want to share, you can create a second library for these and organize them by groups. However, you will not be able to sync or share this second library.
• Storing EndNote libraries in cloud-syncing folders such as OneDrive, Box, iCloud, and others, or keeping read-write EndNote libraries on network drives or flash drives, will lead to an increased risk of library corruption. However, it is possible to put an EndNote library on a portable hard drive and use it with multiple computers.
• Use the File > Compress Library command to make backups of your libraries.
