About EndNote

EndNote LogoEndNote Web is a citation management platform that allows you to collect and organize your references and to create bibliographies. You can manually enter citation data, or import it from other electronic resources such as the scholarly databases available through UTA Libraries. Using EndNote, you can create bibliographies within Microsoft Word or other word-processors. EndNote is able to format bibliographies in almost every conceivable bibliographic citation style, such as APA, Chicago Manual of Style, MLA, Turabian, Science and other journal-specific bibliographic citation styles.

EndNote Online (formerly EndNote Web) is an online version of EndNote. Anyone can sign up for a free Basic account. Fortunately for the UTA community, UTA Libraries subscribes to the EndNote Online Basic 2025. With EndNote Basic, it is possible to share libraries with other EndNote Basic users - making collaboration easy. 

Besides being free, the major advantage of EndNote Online Basic is that you can access your account from any computer that has an internet connection (as long as you can access the UTA Libraries' electronic resources).  EndNote Online Basic syncs with EndNote desktop so that regardless of which you use, you'll always have the most up-to-date references in your collection. Many EndNote users find that Basic meets their needs and forego purchasing the desktop version.

At this time, UTA Libraries only offers training and support for EndNote Online, not for the desktop version.
