Current Babson faculty, students and staff may download software.
The link to download the software is in Babson Portal under the My Links section under the My Downloads heading. Look for Endnote X1.

EndNote X1 is the latest version, including: "Cite While You Write" for Word 2007, the ability to organize citations into groups, and a new quick search among other enhancements.

Students who leave the college before graduation and faculty or staff who are no longer employed at Babson must remove their software when they leave.

If you have an older EndNote version, first read this frequently asked question on backing up libraries and custom files and settings. See also their FAQ on compatibility.

Updating to EndNote X1 from a previous version

Library Catalog Connection files using EndNote to search Horn Library’s library catalog are available at K:\PERM\LIBRARY\EndNote. Copy both files to your C:\Program Files\Endnote X\Connections folder. There are two connection file versions:

• Babson.enz – to search only Babson’s holdings in the WEBnet Library Catalog
• Webnet.enz – to search holdings of Babson, Bentley, Olin, Pine Manor and Regis College libraries
