EndNote License


We just sent you and your supervisors an email to let you know that EndNote have changed their license terms in such a way that Endnote can only be accessed on YSJ’s university PCs and we can no longer provide access to the software via the virtual desktop.

This could have quite an impact on your work if you're an EndNote user and accustomed to using the virtual desktop from home or from De Grey.

If you'd like to take this opportunity to copy your EndNote library into RefWorks, your academic liaison librarian would be happy to give support individually or to do a group workshop on this process. Copying EndNote libraries and importing them into RefWorks has gone smoothly thus far! If you'd like to give it a try on your own, RefWorks have an online guide to transferring your references across.

For those of you who have begun using EndNote for your dissertation and have already written Word documents with EndNote citations embedded, we understand that switching to RefWorks at this point might cause significant challenges. Please let us know who you are so we can reach an individual solution.

If you haven't yet started using software to manage your reference library and create bibliographies, consider doing so over the summer. Here's a bit more information on RefWorks at YSJ, including links to help pages and YouTube tutorials.
