EndNote and EndNote Web
What are they?
When researching for assignments and dissertations, you will collect a large number of references to articles, books and other materials. 'EndNote' and 'EndNote Web' can help you keep an organised record of these references. Both versions enable you to:
- Import references from many of the Library's databases and the Library catalogue. You can then save, organise and edit them for use in your work.
- Cite While You Write: link up with word-processing programs such as Microsoft Word to produce correct citations and reference lists/bibliographies within your work.
Which should I use?
- EndNote Web is most suitable for undergraduates and taught postgraduates. It is a free online tool, available both on and off-campus, which allows you to retain references for the duration of your studies at university.
- EndNote is most suitable for research postgraduates and staff. It is an advanced desktop/software tool which is freely available via the on-campus network. Alternatively, you might prefer to purchase your own copy at a discounted rate -try a Firefox browser if you are unable to login via Internet Explorer. This would allow you to retain your references in perpetuity without needing to transfer them.
- More information about what happens to your references when you leave university.
- You can also refer to a more comprehensive comparison between the two tools.
- References can easily be transferred between EndNote Web and EndNote: instructions.
