EndNote

Guide for EndNote citation management users

Before you update to a newer version of EndNote

Current EndNote users, Sync your library with EndNote Online before moving to EndNote 21.

For added assurance, save a copy of your EndNote library files in another place (USB drive, etc.) by following these instructions:

  • Macs: Open library. File> Compress Library (.enlx)... 
  • PCs: Open library.  Edit > Save compressed file

All users

  • If you have used a commercial (paid) or trial version of  EndNote, it must be uninstalled first.
  • EndNote does not work with the online version of Word. UGA provides Microsoft Office FREE. EndNote will set up a toolbar in Word as it installs, so Word should be downloaded on your computer before installation, rather than after.

Installation and First Set-up Instructions

EndNote for PC

  • Follow the prompts and select the Typical Installation option

EndNote for Mac

  • Follow the prompts until it completes.
  • Once EndNote is installed it will not prompt you, but you will need to create or open a library to see the EndNote workspace.
    • To create a new library, look for the narrow EndNote menu bar at the top of your screen.
    • Go to File and select New, then Click the Save as Package box. Name and Save the file.
      • If you already have a library, just select it from File > Open Library then navigate to your Library.

Download EndNote

  By installing the EndNote software I agree:

  • If I leave the University (by cessation of matriculation or termination of employment) I will discontinue use and uninstall the software.
  • I may install the software on personal machines, including laptops, and home machines.
  • The software may be installed on a network server as well as on other computers owned or operated by the University of Georgia over an internal network at the authorized site(s).
  • At the end of the institution site license, if it is not renewed, I will uninstall the Endnote software. I understand I can save my Endnote libraries and purchase a copy of Endnote to keep using Endnote.
