EndNote is software that :

• keeps records including details of books, book chapters, journal articles, websites, conference papers and theses.
• organizes records in groups and allows you to add keywords, labels and notes
• creates and formats reference lists in a selected style in Microsoft Word or Open Office Writer documents. Use styles such as APA, Chicago, Harvard, MLA and Vancouver.
• stores articles for you (PDF files)
• saves records from search engines and databases
• searches library catalogues and resources like PubMed to find items

EndNote can make managing a reference list and collecting articles a fairly simple task. It reduces the need to re-type information repeatedly, saving time and minimising errors.

It has many reference types which can be changed to suit your requirements.

An EndNote library file can store an unlimited number of references. They can be edited, searched and sorted in many ways. References can be added by typing in relevant details or they can be retrieved from the catalogue, databases and Google scholar.

Files can be attached to your references. Usually a single PDF file is all that you will need but you can attach up to 45 files per reference.

The help menu in EndNote is a great source of information about various features of the program.
