EndNote is a commercial reference management software package, used to manage bibliographies and references when writing essays and articles. It is made by Thomson Scientific. If you wanted to purchase the EndNote software it would cost $250. The Board of Regents Libraries negotiated a contract with Thomson Scientific for the Web of Knowledge package. Included in this contract is the right to provide copies of the EndNote software to our students, faculty and staff at no charge to the user. Do you use EndNote? Need an upgrade? If you don’t use it, would you like to give it a try?
