EndNote 21, the latest version of EndNote, only works with a new version of the online or cloud based version of EndNote called EndNote 21 Web.
For help using the online versions of EndNote contact Kevin Block (kblock@rowan.edu) at the Rowan-Virtua SOM Health Sciences Library.

Occasionally you will want to add a reference to your Library by typing it in, rather than by downloading. Here are some tips:
1. Select the tab labeled Collect.
2. Now, select New Reference.
3. Select the appropriate Reference Type (ex. Journal article, book section, book, etc.) EndNote Basic will display fields needed for that type (editors’ names, chapter authors’ names, etc.).
4. Fill in the appropriate fields. Author and page number fields should be entered as follows.
o Authors must be entered one per line, so press Enter after each author’s name
o Page numbers can be entered in any of the following forms, with commas between non-consecutive ranges.
