2 Using EndNote Web to Manage your References 2. Collect Type in a New Reference Typing references into EndNote Web is the simplest way of adding references, but it is also the most time consuming. It is useful if you only want to add a few references, if the references you want to add are not available in an online database, or if finding them in an online database will be more time consuming than typing them in. 1. Log in to EndNote Web at www.myendnoteweb.com 2. Click on the Collect tab, then New Reference. 3. Choose the Reference Type from the menu and fill in the Bibliographic Fields. Make sure you enter authors in the format Last Name, First Name, and that you enter each author s name on a new line. You do not have to fill in all the fields, but put in at least the details needed in order to cite the reference accurately and completely. 4. Click Save when you are finished. 5. Click on All My References in the panel on the left to view the reference you have just entered in your library. 2 Collect

The toolbars help you to save references from online databases directly into your EndNote Web library. We recommend you use an EndNote Web browser toolbar if you want to export references from a database that does not have an option to directly export to EndNote Web. The toolbars can be downloaded from EndNote Web s Options tab > Download Installers. The Internet Explorer toolbar is part of the Windows Cite While You Write plugin required to cite EndNote Web references in Word (see Configure Cite While You Write, page 10), while the Firefox toolbar is a separate download. 5 Further Information and Support
