An introduction to the browser-based bibliography program EndNote Web and its interaction with Microsoft Word to produce documents containing formatted reference citations. EndNote Web is a “lite” version of the stand-alone EndNote program. It is free to use to members of the University as part of the UL's subscription to the Web of Knowledge database of references.
The Computing Service also runs several termly introductory courses on EndNote Desktop and on more advanced use of EndNote Desktop.
EndNote Web enables you to search for relevant books and articles and store their citation details online. You can modify your copies of these references and add some notes. The program can later work as a “helper” application with Microsoft Word so that you can add consistently laid-out citations to a document that you are creating and create a sorted bibliography at its end.
EndNote Web does not provide advanced features such as customisation of output formats (styles) , these are only available with EndNote for Bibliographies
