EndNote is a citation management software and is designed to store, manage, and cite bibliographic references, such as books and journal articles. EndNote allows you to create your own personal Library of citations by importing references from online databases. When writing papers, EndNote will automatically format inline citations and bibliographies with the correct citation style (APA, AMA etc.) If you already have a personal license to the software, then you can easily upgrade to the most recent version of the software from the library license. When you graduate from or leave the University, you still retain the rights to the version you have a personal license to.
There are two options for EndNote at DMU:
Option 1: EndNote Desktop
Option 2: EndNote Basic (no desktop component)
