EndNote is a tool that can be used to:

• store and manage your references
• store and annotate attached PDF files
• add citations and
• generate a list of references in Microsoft Word.

EndNote is available for students and staff to download, install and use whilst enrolled and/or working at Charles Sturt University.

The library's EndNote Guide contains more information, guides and tips on using EndNote. Remember that you can contact the library staff for help using EndNote.
