1. To get started, you’ll need to download EndNote from
https://aspnetweb.pace.edu/adam/. Make sure you download EndNote to your personal
computer and not a university owned device.
2. Once EndNote is installed, open the program and create a new library by selecting File.
Click New and then Save. Create only one library. Multiple can cause issues
