How Do I Access EndNote?

You must login to your myWSU account.  Under the "myTools" header, there is a link titled: Download EndNote.  Click on the link.  This page gives the hardware requirements for both PCs and Macs.  The file you will be downloading is a zip file.  Follow the onscreen instructions. 

Why Should I Use EndNote?

EndNote can be a timesaver!  There is a built-in Word template to help guide you through your paper writing process.  It can instantly format in-text citations, create a bibliography and create a figure list.  The software comes with more than 1300 predefined bibliographic styles.  Each style can be modified or you can create your own.
