EndNote


What is EndNote?

EndNote is personal bibliographic management software for Windows and Macintosh systems that:
  • Acts as a reference manager i.e. you can store and manage all your references in a database.
  • Acts as a bibliography maker i.e. you can use your EndNote stored references to create bibliographies automatically in your word processor (both in-text and reference lists), for theses, papers, and essays. These bibliographies can be formatted in a myriad of styles.
  • Allows you to search some Internet databases (those compliant with the Z39.50 communications protocol) directly from within the EndNote software.

EndNote X.0.2
EndNote version X (also known as EndNote 10) is now available for Windows and Mac OS X.

Please note:

  • EndNote X.0.2 is not backwardly compatible with EndNote 7 or earlier. If you intend to collaborate with peers who are already using version 7 (or earlier), then you should not install or upgrade to version X - alternatively they should consider upgrading to version X.
  • If you are upgrading to EndNote X, ensure that you install EndNote X.0.2 which is an update patch for EndNote version X. It contains several system enhancements and bug fixes.
  • For a list of "What's new in EndNote X.0.2?", please refer to the information made available by the University of Queensland at http://www.library.uq.edu.au/faqs/endnote/new_in_endnoteX.html.
  • The EndNote X manual will be installed as an online (PDF) copy during installation of the software
  • .

Problems with EndNote Version 8
Due to technical problems with the EndNote version 8 software on both the Windows and Macintosh platforms, and consultation with colleagues at other universities, the Library strongly recommends that EndNote users do not install and use EndNote 8.
For a detailed description of issues with EndNote 8 please see http://www.library.uq.edu.au/endnote/new_in_endnote8.html
