• EndNote is a reference and image database -- it specializes in storing, managing, and searching for bibliographic references in your private reference library. Now you can organize images including charts, figures, and equations with a caption and your own keywords.
  
• EndNote is a bibliography and manuscript maker -- it formats citations and figures in Microsoft Word with the Cite While You Write technology. Watch the bibliography and figure list appear as you insert citations in your manuscript.
  
• EndNote is an online search tool -- it provides a simple way to import references from online library databases and catalogs directly into EndNote.

Information Services has purchased an EndNote software site license for the Wellesley College community. EndNote may be installed on any computer owned by Wellesley College. Faculty, staff, and students may also install it on their own personal computers. This will be a fully functioning version available for use on or off-campus.

When you leave Wellesley, either due to graduation or leaving employment, you must uninstall EndNote from your personal computers.

Currently, EndNote X1 is available for both the Windows and Macintosh platforms and can be downloaded from the NTM Server. See directions below in the Download Endnote section of this document.

EndNote X can be found on the College's NTM server. Please note it is a large program and download may take 3 minutes or more, depending on the speed of your operating system.

For Windows Computers:

• If you are running Windows Vista, please click here for more information on compatibility with Windows Vista.
• For information on getting to NTM go to the Using Your Domain Account page.
• From NTM go to -> EndNote, drag the WindowsEndnoteX1 folder to your desktop.
• Once the WindowsEndnoteX1 folder has finished copying to your desktop, open it and click on the ENX1Inst.msi file to install the software.
• Follow the prompts and when given the option, select complete installation rather than the custom installation.
• After installation drag WindowsEndnoteX1 folder to the trash.

For Macintosh Computers:

• From the desktop, click on the Go menu.
• Select Connect to Server. In the Address: field, type smb://NTM and click Connect.

EndNote X1 Toolbar in Microsoft Word: After you have installed EndNote on your computer, be sure to open up Microsoft Word to ensure that the EndNote X1 toolbar is available.

If the Endnote toolbar does not show up, or looks incomplete, please go to the EndNote Cite While Your Write FAQ and follow the suggested troubleshooting tips. If you have Microsoft Word 2008, go to the EndNote website to install the Cite While You Write patch.

Upgrading from a previous version of EndNote? The makers of EndNote recommend uninstalling previous versions of EndNote before upgrading to version X1. Before you do that, be sure to back up your EndNote libraries and any customized filters, connection files, and styles first.
