LibGuides: EndNote X9: Getting started with EndNote

Getting started with EndNote

EndNote is a reference management software package, also known as bibliographic software, which enables you to:

Create a personal database of references relevant to you, along with associated files;
Insert references into a Word document and format them automatically in a citation style of your choice;
De-duplicate references retrieved from multiple sources;
Share references with others.

To identify references you are advised first to search using Explore or bibliographic databases and then use EndNote to organise your references. For guidance on searching for references, see our Searching for Information guide.
