2. Introduction
• The EndNote X6 Software allows you to manage and build bibliographies.
It also takes citations downloaded from databases and converts them into
a consistent format that matches almost any bibliographic style you might
need. The Cite While You Write feature allows you to effortlessly transfer
citations from your EndNote Library into a Word document. When you
finish your paper, your reference list and bibliography will be done.
• This brief guide is intended to introduce the basic features of EndNote X6.
There is generally more than one way to accomplish most tasks within
EndNote. As you use EndNote you will determine the most efficient way to
