Endnote X5...

...is now available from on-campus PCs. It is the latest version of this popular bibliographic research tool. To access it from any university computer, click on the Start button in Windows, go to the 'University Menu' and select the 'Application Jukebox'.

EndnoteWeb account registration...

…is now available through an online request form. Previously you had to be on-campus to register for your free EndnoteWeb account. With the new form, we can set up an account for you, wherever you are based. Once registered, you can then use your EndnoteWeb account from anywhere with Internet access. Of course, self-registration is still available on-campus, if you prefer – simply go to www.myendnoteweb.com and choose to sign up for an account. Please be aware that however you register your account, you must login on-campus at least once in a 12 month period to ensure your login remains active.

If you want to use the full desktop version of Endnote from off-campus, then you can purchase a copy at a discounted price. Simply go to www.adept4education.co.uk and login with your Athens password. You should then automatically receive the discount when you purchase the software.

If you require any help and support regarding Endnote, then simply contact your Subject Librarian (if you are based in the School of Psychology then your Subject Librarian is, of course, me, so do get in touch).

Use Endnote to store and organise your references...

…and compiling your reference list / bibliography becomes a rather less arduous task. This clever piece of software allows you to export full bibliographic information from a book record on the library catalogue or a journal article in a database into your own personal ‘library’ of references. When it comes to typing up your essay, dissertation, research paper or whatever it is you are writing, you simply place your cursor at the precise point in your write-up where you want the in-text reference to appear, look up the item in your ‘library’ and the reference is added to your document both in-text and in the reference list with all the required information included (author, date, title, place of publication etc.). All you then need to do to format your bibliography is choose the correct referencing style from a list e.g. APA or Harvard or even one of hundreds of publication-specific formats (for publishing in journals).

Two versions of Endnote at available at UEL. Endnote X is the powerful desktop version installed on all PCs on-campus. Endnote Web is a free web-based version with all the main features, which can be used from anywhere either on or off-campus. Please note, however, that you will need to be on-campus to register for an Endnote Web account. More information on both versions is available on the library’s Endnote webpages.
