The University of New South Wales is now licensed to distribute EndNote 5. Provision of this software is an initiative of the Office of the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research and International).

What is EndNote?

EndNote is bibliographic software that allows you to:

Store, organise and manage your references in a database (called an "EndNote Library").

Format bibliographies in the required style by linking your references in EndNote to your word processing documents.

Import references from saved database searches directly into an EndNote Library.

Connect directly to online databases through EndNote and save the results in your EndNote Library.

Why use EndNote?

How much does it cost?

Keeping track of references is an important part of research work. EndNote can save time and effort by automating the storage and management of references. It can also create bibliographies in a range of styles in your word processing documents in a matter of seconds.
