EndNote 20 Guide

EndNote Online is the online counterpart to EndNote desktop and it can be used to enhance the usability of the desktop version.

Using EndNote Online allows you to:

• Make your EndNote Desktop library available online via your EndNote Online library ("Synching" your libraries)
• Save online references from databases and library catalogues into your EndNote library (direct export)
• Manually enter references
• Import references in a plain text file
• Organise references into groups
• Share groups with other users of EndNote Online

The 3 main advantages of using the desktop and online versions together are:

• Search and download references from Murdoch's databases and e-collections
• Share references with colleagues
• Access and manage your research from anywhere

2. Make sure your login details for EndNote web are entered, then click Enable Sync.
3. If you wish to sync your desktop and online libraries automatically (every 15 minutes), then tick the Sync Automatically box.
