EndNote   Tags: resourceguide  

The Library in partnership with the CIS and the Office of Graduate Studies has made Endnote available for free through a campus-wide site license. All A&M students, faculty, staff, and departments can order the software from https://software.tamu.edu. A link to download the software will be sent to your official TAMU email account approximately one hour after your order is placed. (The email will not be forwarded from that account, so you will have to check the Neo account.)

Information about the new features

Basic. EndNote lets you store references to articles and books and to automatically cite them in one of thousands of citation styles such as MLA or APA. The majority of library databases allow you to either automatically transfer references from the database to your EndNote library or save the references to your computer first and then import them into EndNote. You can also type references directly into your EndNote library. Then you can automatically add those citations in Microsoft Word, Apple Pages '09, or OpenOffice.org Writer 3. Intermediate. You can also link pdf's or Word documents to the references, configure EndNote to search the A&M library's subscriptions for full text of journal articles, create groups of references, and do some other customizations. Advanced. You can edit or create new output styles, add custom data fields to references (such as population of a study or whether you've read the article), and change what fields display in the main library window.
