Create and save a new Endnote Library

After installing Endnote Desktop:

1. Open the program
2. Choose "Create New Library"

3. Name your library and save it onto your hard drive. It’s important not to save the library in a cloud service, the library might be corrupted in that kind of syncing services.

An Endnote library consists of two units, an enl.-file and a .Data-folder.

• The two units must be saved in the same place.
• Recommendation: Create a folder for your Endnote Library and place the two units in that folder.
