Important Announcement Regarding EndNote Desktop

Effective December 1, 2022, access to NTU's EndNote Desktop software is available upon request, pending approval. However, we urge students and staff to consider transitioning to Zotero for its advantages. EndNote Desktop requires uninstallation upon leaving NTU, unlike Zotero and Mendeley, which remain accessible. 

If you currently have EndNote Desktop installed on your devices, you may continue using the software throughout your tenure as a student or staff member at NTU. 

If you require further assistance or clarifications, please reach out to us via email at library@ntu.edu.sg.

To help you transition from EndNote to Zotero or Mendeley, we have provided guides on how to move your EndNote references to these platforms. You can find them here:

We encourage you to try Zotero or Mendeley before submitting your EndNote Request Form,. Priority for EndNote Desktop license loans will be given to those conducting systematic reviews. If approved, one EndNote Desktop license will be loaned to you and listed under your Library account.
