Setting up an Endnote Library for the first time
- It is recommended that ONE Library is created with as many groups as you require.
- An Endnote Library can contain up to 100,000 references.
- Remember groups can be deleted or added at any time.
- When inserting citations in it also easier to have only one library to work from.
Important Points to remember
- Set up one Library with as many Groups as required.
- Endnote automatically saves your Library as My Endnote Library.enl.
- The name "My Endnote" can be changed to suit your current workflow/job description.
- Always keep .enl as the file extension
- Do not save your Endnote Library into a cloud sharing device such as Dropbox as this can corrupt your Library
- Always sync your Library regularly, especially if you are using Endnote Online in conjunction with the desktop version of Endnote.
