Why EndNote?

EndNote is a leading bibliographic software product on the market. But will it be valuable for me?  Is it worth the time required to learn how to use it?  Perhaps a good way to evaluate these questions for yourself is to consider a few examples of how people can use EndNote.

Using EndNote to import citations from saved literature searches

Joan is a medical researcher who works for a state hospital. Her responsibilities include tracking the latest findings in medical literature and consulting with physicians. Joan searches PubMed and other databases for the latest information on the topics she is tracking and then saves her citations. She easily downloads references into her EndNote library, with hyperlinks that allow her to go directly from a reference to its location on the Web. Joan has designed her library so that she can easily sort her reference list by special criteria unique to her needs.

Developing a personal library of references

Donna is doing an historical research project about communities surrounding textile mills. Her resources include books, newspaper articles, photographs, correspondence, personal interviews, and government documents. She uses EndNote as a tool for cataloging and tracking the diverse information she collects. As she adds references to her EndNote library, she adds notes for each entry. This helps her remember what she wanted to use from each source when she writes her book.

Creating and formatting citations for papers and publications

Bill is a Public Health graduate student writing his PhD dissertation.  He uses EndNote to keep track of his ever-expanding group of source materials. As he writes, he inserts citations into his paper. They are automatically formatted according to the format style required by his university. He will also use EndNote to generate a properly formatted bibliography. Bill is writing some shorter papers that he wants to submit to several different journals. He uses the same EndNote library for these papers, and he will use Endnote to reformat the citations into whatever styles are required by the publishers.
These are a few examples of ways you can use EndNote. Endnote is flexible, so you can customize it to suit your needs. You may find that as you continue to add references to your library, EndNote becomes more and more essential to your work.
