EndNote Online

is a web-based tool for managing your citations. EndNote Online will enable you to:

• keep track of book and article citation records found in online catalogs and databases
• manually add citation information for books, print journals articles, and other types of resources you have on hand
• keep your source information organized into groups for different classes or projects
• create bibliographies, References, and Works Cited lists in numerous citation styles (including APA, MLA, Chicago, and many more)
• use Cite While You Write while working in Microsoft Word to cite sources in your paper and build your bibliography

In order to use EndNote Online, you must first sign up for your own free account. Choose the appropriate set of steps below, depending on whether you are using an on-campus or off-campus computer.

• Move your cursor over the blue Research drop-down menu toward the top of the screen, then scroll down and click EndNote Online -- Citation Help.
• Click Register.
• Fill out the registration form in order to create a new account.

The next time you want to access EndNote Online (either from on campus or off campus), simply return to the Research section of the Learning Commons website, click EndNote Online -- Citation Help, then login with your new EndNote username and password.  You may also bookmark EndNote Online on your own computer.
