The University now has a site license for EndNote for all DePauw students, faculty members and staff. EndNote is a program which stores and organizes citations and also enables you to import citations directly into a Word document. It works on both Macintosh and Windows platforms.
Two versions of EndNote are available:
The EndNote client, called EndNote X, is installed on your desktop or laptop computer and offers customizable features for working with saved citations. Faculty and staff members can pick up a copy of EndNote X on CDROM from the HelpDesk or can request for a technician to install it for them by contacting the HelpDesk (x4294, helpdesk@depauw.edu). Students can purchase a copy of EndNote X on CDROM from the HelpDesk for a discounted price of $40.
EndNote Web (www.myendnoteweb.com) is web-based and does not require you to install any software on your computer. It is available for use at no charge to all students, faculty members and staff.
To create your EndNote Web account:
- Connect to www.myendnoteweb.com from a computer on the DePauw network.
- Click the “Sign Up for an account” link.
Once you have created your account, you can log in from anywhere, both on and off campus, to access the citations you have collected in your account. To keep your account active, you just need to login from a computer connected to the DePauw network at least once every twelve months.
Which version should you use?
Librarians have been testing both versions of the software and recommend that faculty members, Juniors and Seniors consider using EndNote X. You may want to try both versions to see which one meets your needs.
Librarians are happy to meet with any faculty member to discuss both versions and offer demonstrations.
Where can you find more information about EndNote?
A LibGuide is available via the DePauw Libraries web site with more information, links to handouts, and tips on how to download citations from selected databases at : http://libguides.depauw.edu/endnote. Or contact any librarian for assistance or if you have questions.
