EndNote Desktop Help

The latest desktop version of EndNote is version X3. It is available for Mac or Windows. Price varies, but as of Oct. 2009: $232 (via the ITC store) or $116 for students.

Adding Connection file for MSU Library Catalog

  1. Download the file
  2. Place the file in your EndNote connections directory [Usually C:\Program Files\EndNote\Connections (Windows) or Harddrive: Applications: EndNote: Connections (Mac OS X)]
  3. To search with it, look for the connection file named Montana State Univ. Note that while it only searches our catalog, it may also retrieve call numbers from other libraries. Just look in the call number field for call numbers with the prefix of BOZEMAN for our call numbers. Others can be deleted.
