Overview
EndNote is a personal citation and bibliographic management program that is available for free to the Brandeis community. It runs on both Macintosh and Windows computers. EndNote X4 is available this Fall for both Windows and Macintosh computers. Additionally, there is a Web based version that allows for sharing of citations named EndNote Web. All instructions below for EndNote X4 apply for earlier versions unless otherwise noted. LTS supports the most current version of EndNote when it becomes available at Brandeis.
