EndNote Desktop Software Loan & Transition to Zotero

EndNote Desktop software is available for loan upon request. However, we encourage students and staff to consider transitioning to Zotero as a versatile and user-friendly alternative reference management tool, offering several notable benefits.

Key Benefits of Zotero:

  • Full-Text Article Retrieval: Zotero can automatically locate and attach full-text PDFs to your library items, even if these are not initially available. This feature streamlines your research process and saves time.

  • Persistent Access Post-Graduation: Unlike EndNote Desktop, which requires uninstallation upon graduation or departure from NTU and necessitates transferring your references, Zotero is open-source software. This means you can retain full access to your research materials indefinitely, ensuring continuity in your academic journey.

If you have any questions or need further clarification, please contact us at: library@ntu.edu.sg.

Looking to Transition from EndNote?

We have prepared comprehensive guides on how to migrate your EndNote references to Zotero or Mendeley. Feel free to reach out to us to schedule a personalized consultation or training session.

We encourage you to try Zotero or Mendeley before submitting your EndNote Request Form .  If approved, EndNote Desktop license will be loaned  and listed under your Library account.
