19. Select File / New.

30. You may want to 'drag' the house over to Favorites in the menu on the left, so you can easily get there again.

NOTE - use only 1 library!

You can create multiple libraries, but we recommend that you use only one library for several reasons:

• You can only sync from one library to your online EndNote account. If you try from libraries other than the first, EndNote will merge the libraries, and then add them together in your online version.
• If you need a breakdown, you can create groups for selected references. In addition, you can create overcategoing for your groups so that one type of group comes in one category and another type of group in another.

ALSO

• If you experience problems using EndNote, you may need to update your Word program. Remember that you have free Office 365 when you are a SDU student.
• You may also need to update your Mac OS system. Press the Apple in the upper-left corner of your Mac --> choose About This Mac --> click Software Update.
