| EndNote is a database program for managing
bibliographic citations. It can automate much of the
work of organizing and formatting citations and bibliographies
in your writing. EndNote can connect to online sources
such as EUCLID and article databases, output results
in over 1,000 different bibliographic styles, and more.
For help with EndNote Web, see our EndNote
Web guide.
This page is a quick reference to some of EndNote's
frequently used features. It is not an exhaustive or
comprehensive guide to using EndNote. The Emory distribution
of EndNote includes an Adobe Acrobat copy of the full
manual, which goes into detail on all of these topics.
For personal help using EndNote, sign up for one of
the library's EndNote workshops.
Handouts from our EndNote workshops are available here
as PDF files:
Windows Vista Users: See this FAQ
EndNote is available free of charge to Emory students,
faculty and staff. Download the software from Emory's
Software
Express site (Emory network ID required), or take
your Emory ID card to the Emory Computer Store or the
Cox Computing Center to get a copy on CD.
Emory presently supports EndNote X1. Note that files
saved in EndNote 8 through X1 will not be compatible
with previous versions of EndNote.
Listen to the Library Survival Guide podcast episode "EndNote and Citation Managers."

| Entering
Information Into EndNote |
|
|
| There are three basic ways
to put citation information into EndNote:
Typing By Hand
Click References menu / New.
Remember to enter multiple author names on separate
lines. Press Tab to move between fields.
Using Connection Files
Click Tools menu / Online Search / New Search... (On version X or earlier, click Tools menu / Connect
/ Connect…) Choose the resource to
search, then enter your search terms. Use the Copy
button to download references into your library, or
drag and
drop references from the remote window into your library.
Important: If you encounter an error when
connecting to EUCLID, your connection file is probably
out of date. Upgrading
EndNote to the latest version will fix this.
Importing Search Results
Search the database via the web interface as you normally
would. Select the references you want, then save or
export them. Every database works a little differently,
so check the EndNote
at Emory page for instructions for a particular
database.

| EndNote can create independent bibliographies,
or generate a bibliography to the end of your Word document
from citations you insert.
Exporting Stand-Alone Bibliographies
Select the references you want to include in your
bibliography, then click References menu / Show Selected
References. Click File menu / Export…
then choose a file name. Save as type Rich Text to create
a Word- or WordPerfect-compatible file, or HTML to create
a web bibliography.
Inserting References Into Word Documents
Place your cursor in your Word file exactly where
you want the citation to appear. Click the Find
Citations button on the EndNote toolbar in Word
and enter a keyword to locate your citation, then click
Insert. When finished, click the Format
Bibliography button to format your citations
and generate your bibliography.

| Frequently
Asked Questions |
|
|
| I can't connect to EUCLID using
the connection file that came with EndNote!
The Emory connection file that ships with EndNote
is out of date. In order to search EUCLID with a connection
file, you must download an updated file. Choose the
EUCLID connection file for Windows
or Macintosh
and save to the Connections folder inside your EndNote
program folder, or simply upgrade to the latest version
of EndNote (which includes the updated connection file).
Should I use one library for all my references,
or separate libraries for different projects?
It's entirely up to you; there's no right or wrong
way to organize your files. Just remember that EndNote
automatically saves changes to your library file as
you work, so back up your files regularly.
I already have a long bibliography that I typed
in Word. Can I convert it to an EndNote library?
Unfortunately there's no way to do this automatically.
The best way is to search for your references online
and download them into a new library using connection
files or import filters.
How do I download search results from my favorite
database into EndNote?
Every database works a little differently. In general,
you'll need to either use the database's direct export
function, or save your search results to a text file
and import it using a filter. For more details, see
the EndNote
at Emory download instruction page or chapter 7
of the EndNote 7 manual.
I tried using a connection file to search a database,
but it asks for a password.
Remember that EndNote includes connection files for
databases to which Emory doesn't subscribe, so you may
not be able to connect. Check with the Emory Libraries
to see if Emory subscribes to the database you want,
and e-mail the EndNote-L listserv (endnote-l@listserv.cc.emory.edu)
if you're still having trouble connecting.
How do I add page numbers to an in-text citation?
Right-click the formatted citation and choose "Edit
Citation" from the menu. Fill in the page
numbers (including spaces and punctuation) in the "Pages"
field, click OK, then reformat your bibliography. |

| Don't get discouraged if it takes a
little while to get comfortable using EndNote. With
a little practice it isn't difficult, and there are
many resources available for help and information.
Downloading Updates: Connection Files, Import Filters,
Output Styles
A common way to correct a problem with importing or
outputting citations is simply to update the connection
file, filter or output style. These can be downloaded
from:
