Endnote

EndNote is a commercial reference management software package, used to manage bibliographies and references when writing essays and articles. It is produced by Thomson Reuters. There are several ways to add a reference to a library: manually, or by exporting, importing, copying from another EndNote library, or connecting from EndNote. The program presents the user with a window containing a dropdown menu from which to select the type of reference they require (e.g., book, congressional legislation, film, newspaper article, etc.), and fields ranging from the general (author, title, year) to those specific to the kind of reference (abstract, author, ISBN, running time, etc.)

This enables the user to select multiple citations and saves the user from having to manually enter the citation information and the abstracts. The user can then import the citations into the EndNote software. It is also possible to search library catalogs and free databases, such as Pub Med, from within the EndNote software program itself.
