EndNote

A guide to basic setup and use of EndNote for citation management.

Creating an Account Using EndNote Online

An EndNote Online account allows you to back up your library to the EndNote cloud server. This provides a way to retrieve references if your computer is lost or fails, as well as providing remote access in case you're working on a computer other than your own. Creating an EndNote account is easy and free, even after you leave UTSA.

EndNote online works best as a back up for your EndNote library. Your EndNote online account will not have all the same functionality as the EndNote application you downloaded onto your device.
