Library workshops

EndNote for National Capital Region students

EndNote is a data management program designed to help you create, store, and manage a personal database (library) of bibliographic citations and associated files (charts, graphs, images, tables, PDFs). 

These hands-on sessions are designed to introduce the basic elements of the software, including how to export records from databases into a library, how to link to full-text articles, and how to use Cite While You Write to insert in-text citations into a document and to create a bibliography of references formatted according to a wide variety of styles (APA, MLA, Chicago, IEEE, etc.). 

EndNote is available at no charge to Virginia Tech faculty, staff, and students.  The cost is underwritten by the Library and the Research Division. 

EndNote software can be downloaded from the university’s network software site.  If downloading from home you will need to go access the site through a VPN connection.   You can download from  the Northern Virginia Center if you have registered for VT wireless access.  For assistance, contact the staff in the Library on the first floor of the Northern Virginia Center.  You can also load the software onto your laptop from discs (Windows and Mac)  the instructor will bring to the sessions.
