Library Instruction

EndNote is a bibliographic management tool that allows users to create and organize a library of citations and abstracts and then insert them into a Microsoft Word document.

The Lamar Soutter Library is pleased to provide the University of Massachusetts Medical School with EndNote software for both Windows and Mac users.  
The latest version of the software offered by the library (as of May 2019) is EndNote X9.

The license covers UMMS students, faculty and staff, and staff of our clinical partner, UMass Memorial Health Care. The software can be installed on UMMS or UMMHC computers and up to two personal computers per user.

Mac OS EndNote X9 Installation for personal or UMMS provided Mac computers:

2. For users upgrading from an older version of EndNote, please make sure your libraries are saved in a file location separate from the EndNote program folder (usually C:\ProgramFiles\EndNote). Uninstall older versions of EndNote.
3. The EndNote install link you see below will download a zipped file into your downloads folder. You will have to unzip the file before you can run the installer; if you do not unzip the file, the installer may not be able to read the license information and will ask you for a license number or ask you to install a trial version.
4. To unzip the file, go to your downloads folder and either control+click or click with two fingers on the EndNoteX9SiteInstaller.zip file. Select Open with>Archive Utility. Give this a couple of minutes to work.
5. You should now have a .dmg file; double click this to start the installation process. 
6. Click twice on the gear icon on the EndNote X9 installer window and follow the instructions.
7. Once you have finished the install, open EndNote X9 and complete the installation by clicking EndNote X9 in the upper left hand corner and then clicking Customizer. 
8. In the Customizer, make sure all the boxes are checked and click next>next>finish. This will ensure that Word and EndNote X9 are working together optimally.
9. Open Word to make sure the EndNote X9 toolbar is active in the program. If it is not, contact one of the people listed in troubleshooting.

Getting the error message: Word was unable to load an add-in. Your add-in isn't compatible with this version of Word. Please contact the add-in provider for an update.

Solution: Enable Apple’s Rosetta service for Word. Do this by closing Word, right clicking (or command click) its name in the applications list, selecting get info, and then checking the run using Rosetta option. Once you do that, try opening Word. Reach out to the library if this doesn’t resolve the issue. More details here: https://support.clarivate.com/Endnote/s/article/EndNote-Apple-M1-chip-compatibility?language=en_US
