EndNote

This CSIRO specific guide has information on managing your references using EndNote.

Saving your library

Note that your EndNote library will become corrupted when:
1. You save your EndNote Library in cloud syncing folders (e.g.OneDrive, Network drives, Dropbox and Google Drive).
2. You open your EndNote library (.ENL file) from cloud syncing folders.

 

Save your EndNote Library on your local drive, i.e. on Local Disc (C:). 

Move or transfer libraries to another computer

  • Your EndNote library is made up of a filename.ENL file and an associated .DATA folder.
  • As the .DATA folder contains the library data structure, it should be saved in the same folder as the .ENL file.
  • If you remove or delete the .DATA folder, you will lose customised term lists, groups and file attachments.
  • If you move your library to another location, you must transfer the .ENL file and the .DATA folder to the new location. The simplest and safest way to do this is by compressing your library.
