Bibliographic citations tools can help staff and students reference correctly. The primary bibliographic citation tool supported by Federation University Library is EndNote. EndNote includes both EndNote Online and EndNote Desktop.
EndNote Online is recommended for undergraduates and enables students to:
- capture references from the Library’s QuickSearch, databases, library catalogues, or enter them manually
- store, arrange and generate references for assignments in various citation styles
- share online ‘groups’ (i.e. reference lists) with other students (great for group assignments)
EndNote Desktop (and EndNote Online) is recommended for researchers and includes various features such as:
- Live connection with Word for Windows/Mac that is easy to establish and maintain
- Greater range of citation options and bibliographic styles
- Automatic sync both ways between EndNote Desktop and EndNote Web
- Greater range of templates for references (i.e. books, journals, newspapers, tort, etc.)
- Features supporting PDF, such as annotations and search
- Features specifically suited to working with large documents such as theses
You can access EndNote Online via the internet at endnote.com using your email address to sign up.
Access to EndNote Desktop is currently available on campus via the Software Center program on any Federation University computer. Downloads for personal computers can be found here.
See the Library’s EndNote Online for undergraduates and EndNote desktop: self-pace learning subject guides for how to get started using EndNote.
