WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH endnote?



Create a customized library of all your references.


Insert those references in Word, OpenOffice.org Writer
(only compatible with Windows), Wolfram Mathematica
8, or Apple Pages and EndNote will automatically create
citations and a bibliography matching the requirements
of your selected journal or style manualand it has over
5,000 bibliographic styles to choose from!
Attach PDFs, sound files, videos, or any other kind of file
to your referencesup to 45 files per record!

Read and annotate attached PDFs.


Organize your library using groups to categorize
references by project, subject, or anything else you
chooseand the same reference can be in as many
groups as you want.
Synchronize your EndNote library across multiple
computers, share references with others, and access
your references from almost anywhere with any Internet
browser through EndNote Web.
And much, much more!

Build your library of references


Import your PDFs, download references from online databases or manually enter your
references. Have EndNote find the full text article for you or manually attach the PDF
yourself. Mark your references with a Read/Unread tag and apply ratings to help you
identify the more important references.

references
Create folders and drag
and drop your references
into them. Or create
automatic smart groups
and let EndNote take
care of this for you.

: Download references into your library


Many online databases give you the ability to export references to your EndNote library. Look for the option to save,
export, or send to EndNote. The EndNote option might also be labeled as RIS.

: Organize your

references into Groups
4

Groups: Go to Groups > Create Group. This creates a group


with a folder icon on the left under My Groups. Give your group
a name. Drag and drop references from your library into this
group. The same reference can appear in multiple groups and
is not duplicated when you do this.

Smart Groups: Go to Groups > Create Smart Group. Define


a search parameter and give this group a name. Click on the
Create button. A Smart Group will appear on the left under
My Groups automatically showing references that match that
search. This group will also instantly update as you add more
references to your library that match that original search.

Combined Groups: Explore the relationships between your


existing Groups. Go to Groups > Create From Groups. Pick
at least two groups in the drop-down menu and select your
Boolean operator of choice. Give this group a name, click on
the Create button, and a Combined Group will appear on the
left under My Groups. This group is also a smart group and will
update as your component groups change.

and check the PubMed LinkOut box. Enter your OpenURL
server in the OpenURL Path box. If you have an EZProxy
