EndNote is a citation management program designed to collect, organize, and store references in a personal library. This guide will help get you started with EndNote by introducing some of its main features. While the interfaces look slightly different between a Mac and a PC, both versions have the same functionality.

NOTE: This guide refers to the terms 'citations' and 'references' interchangeably.
