Extend the Power of your Endnote Desktop Program by Signing Up for Endnote Online

Posted on by

If you haven’t done so recently, it is time to take a new look at EndnoteTM Online, formerly Endnote Web. EndnoteTM Online, a cloud-based version of the Endnote bibliographic citation management program, can be used as a stand-alone product or – better yet – to expand the capabilities of the already super useful Endnote desktop program.

What can you do with EndnoteTM Online that you cannot do with Endnote desktop alone?

  • Share Read/Write privileges to your EndnoteTM Online library with up to 15 others.
  • Use EndnoteTM Online’s unlimited cloud storage to store your personal full-text article PDFs. (Please note that due to copyright, the PDF attachments cannot be shared with others; only the citation information in the EndnoteTM Online library may be shared.)
  • Add citations to your Endnote library from anywhere you have Internet access – regardless of whether the device you are using has the Endnote desktop program loaded onto it or not.
  • Create mirror versions of your Endnote library on your desktop and in the cloud simply by clicking on the sync button when you are in the Endnote desktop version.
  • Use either version of Endnote to insert citations into your manuscript/paper. (Please note that you will need to download the “cite while you write” plug-in to computers that don’t already have the desktop version’s Endnote tab/macro in MS Word or set your preferences to either desktop or online on devices that do.

To learn more, consider taking the MSK library’s Endnote Basics (desktop version) class and the Advanced Endnote class (where the online version’s functionality will be highlighted with a demo of each online feature in conjunction with its counterpart in the desktop version).

To get a copy of the Endnote desktop version, simply call the Help Desk at 646-227-3337 and ask to have it added to your MSK account. To register for an EndnoteTM Online account, go to www.myendnoteweb.com and click on “create an account” while on a computer that is on the MSK computer IP range.

Don’t delay – investing two hours in Endnote training today will save you hours upon hours tomorrow!
