EndNote: Getting EndNote

EndNote® is a software program used to manage bibliographic citations. You can retrieve references from bibliographic databases, import them into your own database, and create bibliographies in a variety of formats using a word processing program. You can also add references to a Word™ document and create a bibliography using a style of your choosing. The current version is EndNote X20.

Please note, the LRC is in the process of updating this guide to reflect the new EndNote X20 version.

USUHS has a site license for EndNote and is available for free to USUHS faculty, students, and staff who are billeted at USUHS.
