HI all,
As we all know, the University Libraries has had a subscription to RefWorks for the past few years. Before we officially supported a campus-wide license to RW, librarians at Bio-Med and Magrath were helping our clients with EndNote. EndNote is a client-based software, which means you have to install it on one machine to use it. One reason why the U Libraries decided to support RefWorks was that it is web-based, meaning that users can get to their references from any Internet-connected computer.
Now, EndNote has come out with a web-based program, as well as continuing to sell their client-based software (which is currently in version 10). The web-based software is now embedded in Web of Science databases (since ISI owns WOS & EN).
You can see this for yourself by logging into WOS and doing a search. The option to add this to EN Web appears to the right of the search results.
To use EN Web, you have to register with ISI (which you can do within WOS).
If you get questions about EN or EN Web please refer people to EndNote's tech support and/or web pages:
EndNote (www.endnote.com)
EndNote Web (www.endnoteweb.com)
We still have on our web site, pages for assisting people with EndNote software (http://www.biomed.lib.umn.edu/help/guides/software) While I believe that the essential mechanics of using EndNote hasn't changed that much since version 6 (when we last taught RW), I think it is wise to also direct general questions about how to use EN to their tech support listed on their web site.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
Lisa
