The administration has purchased Endnote for our use - five concurrent licenses have been purchased to be shared among faculty and students. Students may use the program in the Library PC lab (coming soon). Endnote is a comprehensive database program for references of all types. Endnote is a very powerful tool for those who wish to write scholastic articles, research papers, or books. Endnote can be integrated with either Word or WordPerfect with ease to add either footnotes or endnotes to your document.
 

To use Endnote, first create a database of your references in endnote. Then open your word processing program and write your article, paper, or book. As you write, you can use Endnote to cite as you write, keeping track of all of your citations, especially if you recite several references. When you have finished, all the references are cited correctly, in the style you prefer. Also, if you perform a literature search, Endnote will organize the references for you.
