What is EndNote

EndNote is a bibliographic reference manager that allows you to create, store, and edit bibliographic references. EndNote also allows you to search some Internet databases directly from within the EndNote software. EndNote in combination with your word processor will generate bibliographies for you in any of a number of standard styles.

The Library has more information available at  http://wwwlib.murdoch.edu.au/training/Endnote/  and the EndNote web site at http://www.endnote.com/ is a useful source for up to the minute information.

Excellent additional information on EndNote 9 from The University of Queensland
