Flinders University has a site licence agreement to use EndNote on all university computers and personal computers.

The right to use EndNote at home ceases immediately upon termination of employment at Flinders University or the cessation of enrolment by a student. A condition of the licence is that the software must be completely removed from your computer should your formal association with Flinders end.
EndNote X9 for macOS has been updated for compatibility with Catalina. If you already have EndNote X9, please install all updates as they become available before upgrading to macOS Catalina to avoid interruption in your workflow. You can access the updates here.
Endnote has 500 styles within the program but sometimes you need to install a dedicated style. Endnote have over 6000 styles available on their website. At the University we use a style called Harvard AGPS 6th edition (The University of Queensland Library has kindly allowed us to use their file.). This is already installed on all University computers but needs to be added to personal computers. The below instructions can be used for adding any new styles to your computer.
Directions to download style
1. Download the style for the website. Click here for the Harvard AGPS 6th style.
2. A dialogue box will open or a download window will appear depending on what browser you are using.
3. Open the file. This will then open the Endnote program and display the style.
4. In Endnote click File > Save As
5. Name the style if not correct and click Save eg. Harvard AGPS6
6. Close the style window
3. After a couple of seconds, you should see the Choose A Style dialogue box. You need to scroll down the list until you see the new style you have just saved. You can also type the name and it should go directly there.
4. Once you have selected it, click the Choose button.
5. You will now see the name of the style appear in the Style field of Endnote.
That’s it! When you use EndNote now, this will be the style that is used to format your citations and bibliography. Also remember to choose it in Word as your reference type.

You can supplement your EndNote Library by attaching full-text PDFs to your references.
Copyright principles apply to any PDF saved to your Endnote Library. For more information, see the copyright section.
There are several different methods of attaching full-text PDFs.
Step 1: Configure EndNote to find full-text articles
In most instances, EndNote is able to automatically find and attach PDFs of articles held by Flinders University Library. For this to work, you must first configure EndNote to connect with FindIt@Flinders.
Within EndNote, click on the Edit menu (if using a PC) or the EndNote menu (if using a Mac)
Note: You can set EndNote to automatically find full text for all imported references by checking the box below the URLs.
Step 2: Select references to find full-text
Users should be aware of and adhere to copyright exceptions and database licence terms and conditions relating to full-text material that is added to an EndNote library.
The Fair Dealing for Research or Study exception contained in the Copyright Act allows you to copy limited amounts of copyright material for the purposes of research or study. For information about what copyright limits apply, refer to ‘What is Fair Dealing’
If you wish to share your EndNote library, only share the reference list – not the full text material attached to the library. Doing so may breach Australian copyright law or Flinders University licence agreements.
When you leave Flinders University you must delete all full-text licensed content from your EndNote library.
