Student workrooms

Endnote X2 is available on the workroom Macintosh machines. No extra installation should be necessary. Style, Filters and Connection files are linked to the Library Volume and will be updated automatically as needed.

Other on-campus installations

Ask your Mac Support consultant to install EndNote for you from the CANTMC distribution server.

Once this is done you will need to update the Connection, Style and Filter files by copying the folders from the EndNote Extras folder and loading them into the corresponding existing folders inside the EndNote folder on your own computer.

Check with your consultant if you are unsure about how to do this. You should also reload these files from time to time, as they will be updated by the Library as databases are changed, added, replaced or deleted.

Download the software from the Endnote Software page. Borrow the Endnote installation disks from the ICTS Help Desk. Make sure your computer has the right System and HardWare Requirements.
