University open access computer

Endnote is deployed on all the computers in teaching rooms and the Library on campus.  Simply search for 'Endnote' in the computer start menu/task bar.

Bear in mind that open access computers are wiped of hard drive data each night so if you use Endnote Desktop on these machines you will not be able to save your library to the desktop/computer hard drive.

It is recommended to use the campus computers for accessing your cloud based Endnote Online version of your library instead of using Desktop.
