Conditions of Use:

1. The Software is available to current students and staff of Australian Catholic University. Your right to use this Software ends when you are no longer a staff member or student of Australian Catholic University, at which point you must remove the EndNote Software from all computers
2. This Software must not be lent, given or sold to anyone else.

*If you are unable to download EndNote, we may be able to mail you a USB drive containing the EndNote installation file. Please note that the USB drive contains the same file as the download option.  So, if you are having problems installing EndNote from the downloaded file, please first contact your local campus library.

EndNote is software for storing, managing, searching and sharing references.

EndNote:

• 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, eg. APA, Chicago, Harvard, MLA, Vancouver.
• stores articles for you (PDF files)
• saves records from search engines and databases
• searches library catalogues and resources like PubMed to find items

Especially if you currently use EndNote, make sure to do the following before installing a new version:

1. Save a compressed version of your EndNote library.
   1. Go to File > Compressed Library (.enlx)
   2. Make sure to select “With File Attachments” and “All References in Library”.
2. Keep a separate copy of your Output Styles, Import Filters, and Connection Files.
   1. By default, these are stored in an EndNote folder, as follows:​ Documents\EndNote
   2. Copy (but don’t delete) this entire folder to another location on your computer – perhaps just create another folder called “EndNote Backup”, and copy the original folder's contents here.
