EndNote

Sharing a Library between a group of researchers

  • Each member of the group must have an EndNote Online account and sync their chosen Library (Sync between EndNote Online and desktop).

  • The co-ordinator of the group or research assistant shares their Library with the others. Each member receives an email inviting them to share a Library, with a link which they click. They will then sign in with their own EndNote Online username and password.

  • They can view the Shared Library by selecting File >Shared Library. Any member of the group can make changes to the Library.

  • It is recommended that the co-ordinator backs up the Library regularly in the usual way.
