EndNote

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

Adding References to EndNote

EndNote is compatible with a large number of UTSA Library databases. You can easily create entries in your EndNote library by exporting that information from a database. Please note, the databases only automatically export the citation information for an article (title, author, date, etc.) and does not automatically attach full text PDFs of the article. For information on how to attach full text articles to an entry in your EndNote library, see the Full Text link.
