EndNote X5

This page describes the desktop version of EndNote and how you can access it on and off UCD campus.

*NOTICE*
UCD Library implemented a new online catalogue in July 2012. Therefore connection files in EndNote versions installed before that date are pointing to the old catalogue (which will be switched off).

If you have EndNote installed on your computer you need to update the connection file. To do this:

  • Download this connection file and save it to your C drive > Program Files > EndNote X5 > Connections
  • When prompted, replace the old file with the updated version

Modify the connection file only if you have EndNote installed on your computer. For EndNote on Software for U or on PCs in IT Services computer labs changes will be made by IT Services.

The connection file in EndNote Web will be updated by Thomson Reuters

What is EndNote?

With EndNote you can:

  • Record, store and manage references
  • Add references manually or search and download directly from online databases and library catalogues
  • Use a feature called Cite While You Write which allows you to insert references and automatically create bibliographies for your papers in Microsoft Word 2010, as well as Apple’s Pages 09
  • UCD currently supports version X5 of EndNote.

How can I access EndNote X5?

If you are a student  you can access EndNote X5 remotely using Software for U via UCD Connect. Login to UCD Connect, select the Home tab and click on Software for U in the Software Applications window.

EndNote X5 is also installed on all PCs in open access computer labs on campus. Select Start > All Programs > EndNote > EndNote Program

Alternatively, you can try EndNote Web, a web-based version of EndNote. This application is (after registration on campus) available to you both on and off campus.

In addition to the desktop version of EndNote you can use the web-based EndNote Web.
