EndNote is premium bibliographic citation management software for both Mac and Windows.  Whitman has arranged with the software vendor to make EndNote available campus-wide, to any current faculty, student, or staff member. In addition to installing EndNote on campus computers, it may be installed on faculty, staff, or student personally-owned or home computers.  EndNote may only be installed and used by individuals who are currently at the College - it must be removed if you end your employment or your matriculation as a student.
