EndNote at Duke

EndNote is a powerful 'reference management' software, designed to keep track of citations and prepare bibliographies.  EndNote works with word-processing software to import references into a document as you write it, and papers can be automatically formatted according to many different bibliographic styles, including Turabian, MLA, APA, and Chicago 15th. Start using EndNote as you begin research and you will thank yourself as you finish your paper.
