*If you are asked for a product key when trying to download the desktop version of EndNote, it is because you attempted to download without first extracting/unzipping the downloaded file. To extract the file, navigate to the zipped folder ENX9_WIN.zip. Right click on the folder and click Extract All.
Citation management tools like EndNote help you with each stage of your research. Instead of having articles, links, citations, and notes saved in multiple formats in multiple places you can use a tool like Endnote to:
► Collect references from the library website and databases, websites, or by uploading single or batches of pdfs
► Organize references into separate groups for different research projects
► Store references securely and back them up
► Format references for a bibliography or use the EndNote Cite While You Write (CWYW) within Word.
► Share references with other users
