These notes are for Windows XP users, connected to the UOCNT network. They may work for staff laptops that are used as the staff-member's principal computer at work, but will not generally work for other laptops - see this note. There are separate notes for Mac users. If you use a laptop that is connected to the UC Network at times, but not at other times then see these notes.

For windows 7 users: we will re-write these notes but essentially you can install Endnote X5 - from the 'Uninstall or Change a program' box use the left-hand link 'Install a program from the network' and choose Thomson Reuters EndNote X5.0.1.

Always back up your EndNote libraries before doing anything major with EndNote.
