Where can I use EndNote?

There are two versions of EndNote:

  • EndNote desktop is a software version. It is available:

On pooled computer room and Library network PCs

EndNote has been installed on the University network. It is available for any member of the university to use (on pooled room or Library network PCs) to create their own library. All students can take advantage of the software in preparing their course work and dissertations.

For staff and researchers on Brookes computers

The Library's EndNote licence allows for installation of the software on any University owned equipment, so staff and researchers can have it added to their office PCs.

If you want EndNote installed on your office computer, please contact your own Faculty/Department IT Technician or Academic Computing Officer. We recommend that you ask for the latest version to be installed.

System requirements for different versions of EndNote are available on the Technical Support section of the EndNote Web site.

To buy for home use

Under the terms of our EndNote licence, Brookes staff and students can buy the software (either Windows or Mac) to install at home, at a discounted rate. You can check the system requirements on the Technical Support section of the EndNote Web site.

How to buy EndNote

EndNote can be ordered directly from the Adept Scientific Web site if you log in with your Brookes Athens account. It is available in Windows and Mac versions and you can choose between:

  • Downloading the software
  • Ordering the CD
  • Ordering the CD plus a Getting started guide.

There is a very detailed Manual for EndNote which is supplied as a PDF file with the EndNote software.

If you want to upgrade at home from an earlier version you will need to purchase the latest version of EndNote from the Adept Scientific Web site.

If you don't want to buy EndNote for home use, you may want to consider using EndNote Web which can be accessed anywhere on the web.

  • EndNote Web can be accessed from anywhere and is available to all Oxford Brookes staff, researchers and students free of charge.

Accessing EndNote Web

EndNote Web is a web version of EndNote. It is a free service available to all Oxford Brookes staff, researchers and students. If you use EndNote Web your references will be stored on the web and can be accessed from wherever you are. If you are off campus, you should log into Athens first on the Library home page before connecting to EndNote Web.

Note there are differences in functionality between EndNote and EndNote Web. To check if EndNote Web will meet your needs, go to the Thomson Reuters web site which gives an in-depth comparison of the versions.

You will need to register to use EndNote Web - for more information see our guide to EndNote Web.
