Please note: Columbia University Libraries will be reviewing its support for EndNote over the next academic year. If you are just getting started with citation management, we strongly recommend using a robust, free application such as Zotero. If you are a long-time user of Endnote, we recommend you spend some time familiarizing yourself with an alternative tool in order to determine if there is another which best fits your needs.
Citation management software makes mining and using information resources easier and more effective, helping you to:

- Organize, evaluate, annotate, and search within your collection
- Cite and list resources in a wide range of bibliographic styles as needed
