Connection files enable EndNote to open, search, and import references from University library catalogues (such as the UNSW catalogue) and also from public library catalogues.

  • Store references online, 
  • Sync your EndNote desktop and online libraries, and
  • Share references with other people.

How to use EndNote Web

  1. Go to https://www.myendnoteweb.com/
  2. Sign up for an account. Once you sign up, you can use EndNote Web from any computer.

Important things to know....

  • EndNote libraries are made up of two parts: the .enl file and the .data folder. These two parts must be kept together; both are needed for the library to work correctly.
  • EndNote libraries should be kept on your computer's hard drive. Storing and editing libraries on a network drive can lead to corruption and performance issues.
  • EndNote libraries should never be stored in cloud-syncing folders such as DropBox, OneDrive, etc. Syncing folders corrupt EndNote libraries over time.
