Bibliographic Management Tools: EndNote

From any computer go the the EndNote registration page and click on the Register box located in the right center of the EndNote webpage under the words "Not a member yet?".

You MUST create your account with your Fordham email address if you want to sync your free web and Fordham provided desktop accounts.

Password Requirements: at least 8 characters but not longer than 95 characters; contain at least 1 letter, at least 1 number; and at least one special character (!@#$%^*()~`{}[]|\&_); cannot have leading or trailing spaces.

Do not choose the 30 free trial of the desktop version. If you want the desktop version download it from the Fordham IT website (see instructions in the box on this page titled "Download DESKTOP EndNote from Fordham IT"). 

Once you have registered for a free EndNote Web account, you can now log in to EndNote Web and add the plug-ins to your browsers. The plug-ins are located in the top toolbar of EndNote Web under the Downloads option. There are three: Cite While You Write, Capture, and  EndNote Click. You may choose to add all, none, or any combination of them.

Please note that you will not be able to add the EndNote Web plug-ins to a Fordham Library public computer. You should be able to add the plug-ins to the Chrome and Opera browsers when you are logged into your mydesktop.fordham.edu account from home or from a Fordham work station.  Researchers must use their own laptop when working with the desktop version of EndNote.

EndNote is available for downloading at Fordham's Information Technology website.

General safety notes

• EndNote libraries are made up of two parts: the .enl file and the .Data folder. These two parts must be kept together; both are needed for the library to work correctly.

• Keep EndNote libraries on your computer's local hard drive. Storing and editing libraries on a network drive can lead to corruption and performance issues.

• EndNote libraries should never be stored in cloud-syncing folders such as Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, SugarSync, etc. Syncing folders corrupt EndNote libraries over time.

• Uninstall your previous version of EndNote before installing a new version.

• Synchronize references in EndNote libraries between desktop and laptop computers, the online library, and an iPhone or iPad using EndNote Sync.

• Share complete EndNote libraries with other EndNote desktop users through EndNote Sync and Library Sharing.
