EndNote LibGuide

Citation management software is useful for organizing references and creating bibliographies. There are many citation management programs available, each with its own strengths. Many are available free or at a small cost including EndNote, Zotero, and Mendeley.

The citation needs of many undergraduate students may be met by using free citation generators, such as EasyBib, BibMe, and NoodleTools Express. These types of Generators can be a good place to start.

EndNote gives users the ability to import, store, and organize references and format them in thousands of different citation styles. It also allows users to store and annotate pdf files. EndNote includes a plug-in for word processing programs for formatting in-citations and bibliographies. This software is available for free through the DU computer store's software downloads page within DORI.
