Sladen Library Is Now Supporting Endnote X3

EndNote X3 is now available for check-out from the library. You may check-out a CD for home use at no charge, however if you would like EndNote on your work computer you will need to provide your computer Asset Tag and Cost Center Number so that the HFHS IT Department can bill your department for the installation process.
**Please note that departments that have their own IT department will not have to pay an installation charge for work computers. Please have your system administrator check-out a CD and fill out an individual user agreement for each computer in which EndNote will be installed. Every user MUST fill out a user agreement form.

New instructions on using EndNote X3 are available on the Sladen Education & Training web site.

If you are wondering if you should upgrade to the newer version of EndNote, here are some of the new things you will be able to do with EndNote X3:

1. Obtain full-text references from online journals to which Sladen subscribes

2. Easily transfer references to EndNote Web

3. Create groups and smart groups using your own specified criteria. For example, if you wish to create a group within your master list of references that are published by a specific journal, author, topic, or publication year, you can create a smart group that will automatically sort these references for you!

4. Compare duplicate records side-by-side for easy review.

5. Is compatible with Windows and Macintosh

To sign-up for EndNote Web 2.8 click here. Please ensure that you use an HFHS email address. The added benefit of using EndNote Web is that you will be able to import EndNote library references (from your computer) and access your libraries from all over the world without having to email yourself EndNote libraries as an email attachment.

Manuscript preparation services provided by Sladen Library will use EndNote X3 which is backward compatible with EndNote X1 etc. Information on manuscript preparation services can be found at the bottom of the EndNote FAQ page.

The Sladen Library will be holding EndNote X3 Drop-in Q & A Consultations on Wednesday and Thursday mornings from January 21st through April 1st. The sessions will be held in the library on K-17 from 9:00-10:00 am.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact Nandita Mani via nmani1@hfhs.org.
