EndNote Version 6.0 Bibliographical Software Available To Students, Faculty and Staff Through University Site License
(New York, NY - August 27, 2002) Columbia University Libraries signed a site
license for EndNote with ISI
ResearchSoft. Beginning with the 2002 fall semester, all current
students, faculty, and staff at Columbia, Barnard, Teachers
College, and Union Theological Seminary will be able to
obtain a personal copy of EndNote
bibliographic software free of charge.
The software should be of great assistance
to all who make use of the Libraries' extensive collection of
information resources in their study, research, and
teaching.
The software will be
available online for downloading by current students,
faculty and staff with a CUID and password at the beginning of the
fall semester via the Libraries' EndNote information page:
http://www.columbia.edu/cu/lweb/help/howto/endnote/.
EndNote will be installed on workstations in
AcIS labs and electronic classrooms, the Electronic Text Service
(Butler 305), and computer classrooms and labs at the Health
Sciences Library, Barnard, Teachers College, and the School of
Social Work. Three versions of the software will be available for
download: EndNote 6.0 for Windows, EndNote 6.0 for Macintosh
(requires OSX), and EndNote 5.0 for Macintosh (earlier operating
systems).
The Libraries will be
offering a series of weekly Endnote instruction sessions in
Butler 306 beginning September 4 and continuing throughout the
semester. They are free of charge, but do require an online or
telephone registration. A full listing of those sessions, along
with an online registration form, is available at:
http://www.columbia.edu/cu/lweb/indiv/butlref/training.html#endnote
Classes will also be offered at the Health
Sciences campus, Teachers College, and the School of Social Work.
(Links to those schedules will be provided from the Libraries'
EndNote page as soon as they are available.)
The most widely-used
software of its kind on the market, EndNote allows users to search,
retrieve and store citations from bibliographic databases
such as ABI Inform, the Web of Science, Anthropological Literature,
the MLA Bibliography, or library catalogs. EndNote also enables
researchers to track their use of resources for a particular
project or to maintain an ongoing list of relevant literature via
searchable and customizable personal databases. Endnote can
generate bibliographies, reading lists, and footnotes in a wide
variety of styles, and because it links directly to word-processing
programs such as Microsoft Word and Wordperfect, it enables users
to add and format citations as they write.
