Introducing EndNote:
1. EndNote is an online search tool: provides a simple way to search online bibliographic databases and retrieve the references directly into EndNote.
2. EndNote is a reference and image database: specializes in storing, managing, and searching for bibliographic references in private reference library. We can organize charts, tables, figures and images.
3. EndNote is a bibliography and manuscript maker: formats citations, figures, and tables in Microsoft Word with the Cite While You Write feature.
Endnote Function:
The main functions of EndNote are:
1. Database manager: stores, manages and searches for references.
The information can be imported electronically from a database or entered manually. For example, students can make a direct export from EBSCOhost to Endnote.
2. Bibliography maker: builds lists of references cited in a paper and at the click of a button will create the bibliography in a number of different styles.
3. Data importer: enables the importing of references from other databases into an EndNote library. For example, after searching in HKUL catalogue, students can save the Dragon results and export the results to Endnote.
4. Electronic Library: manually input the references into Endnote and build electronic library on different research topics. Students can sort and format them conveniently.

4. Creating a bibliography in a paper
When we write a paper, we can insert citations linked to the EndNote bibliography. These citations can be quickly formatted to produce in-text citations and a bibliography in an output style of our choice. We can easily change the output style.
In conclusion, EndNote is a bibliographical management software package designed to help us to
- Organize bibliographic references
