Citation Management Applications

• EndNote X3 - UNCG provides this application on desktop computers in campus labs. The installer is available for use on desktop computers on campus through the "Run Advertised Programs" link (current UNCG students, faculty, and staff only).  
• EndNote X4 - UNCG provides EndNote X4 for installation on desktop computers on the campus network.  Also X4 is available remotely through the Virtual Computing Lab (VCL). You must be familiar with remoted desktopping and patient in order to use the VCL (current UNCG students, faculty, and staff only).
• Zotero - A free Firefox browser extension that users may download to their computers.

The tabs above will pop up guides to the features of EndNote X3, EndNote Web, and Zotero.

If you have questions about any of these types of software, please contact one of the staff members on the right or your library subject specialist.

You cannot use The Firefox extension for EndNote Web in conjunction with EndNote desktop. The extension will override the desktop and all citations will be saved to EndNote Web. you must disable or remove the extension to use EndNote desktop.

When using Zotero (Firefox), the Zotero preferences must be set to allow EndNote (Desktop) or EndNote Web  to capture citations.  To change the settings go to Zotero Preferences, General, Miscellaneous, and find the box titled "Use Zotero for downloaded RIS/Refer files." Checking the box will allow Zotero to capture citations using the Endnote function in databases. removing the check will allow the citations to save to EndNote.  The change will require restarting Firefox.
