Overview
Beginning July 1, 2022, new EndNote licenses will require payment of an annual fee — currently $50 per user, per license — and expire the following year on Sept. 30.
EndNote is the University's standardized bibliography tool for students, faculty, and staff. It enables users to search online bibliographic databases, organize references, and create and format instant bibliographies. Work with Microsoft Word using a built-in integration interface.

- Stay organized — create rules to automatically organize references as you work and use the Tabs feature for easier multitasking.
- Work anywhere — access your research anytime, anywhere from the cloud.
