How to use EndNote 20 in seven minutes: Windows (7min 3sec)

Please note:

1. This video assumes familiarity with Windows™ operating system
2. CSU subscribed databases such as EBSCO and Web of Science cannot be accessed using the Online Search mode described in this video. Records from Primo Search and other Library databases can usually be exported / downloaded to EndNote directly from the databases.
3. The Find Full Text option described in this video will work better from off-campus if you add the Library proxy server details to your EndNote Preferences
