This guide will help you set up and use EndNote Desktop and EndNote Web.

EndNote Desktop

System Requirement: Your computer must be running Windows 10 or higher in order for EndNote 20 to work.

Option 1.  Call the Help Desk at (718 or 516) 470 7272 or open a chat session while on campus and request the EndNote21 desktop installation.  You should not have to provide a product key. If asked, tell the analyst that the library manages the Institutional License for EndNote and that the instructions are on the IT KnowledgeBase. Verify that the analyst is running the “Install.cmd” file and that they open the program after installation to check for any updates. Provide the Help Desk analyst with your name, computer name, department and  facility. The software will be pushed out to your Northwell Health PC or MAC.

OR

Option 2. From the "I Need To..." dropdown on the Intranet homepage, select "Submit an IT Ticket." Select "I am requesting to install an application (other than Dragon) on my computer." Enter in your location information. The fields below should be set as follows:

  • Name of Software: EndNote 21
  • Do You Already Have a Copy of the Software? No
  • Do You Have a License for the Software? No
  • Indicate in the justification textbox that the library manages the institutional license for EndNote and that the instructions are on the IT KnowledgeBase

Once an IT analyst contacts you, indicate that the installer is available on the IT WEB.  You should not have to provide a product key. Verify that the analyst is running the “Install.cmd” file and that they open the program after installation to check for any updates. The software will be pushed out to your Northwell PC or MAC.
