Where to save your library (file)

When you create a new library (a file of your references), make sure it is not saved to cloud storage like iCloud and OneDrive. Saving your library to cloud storage may cause issues.

As a current UQ student or staff, you have automatic access to OneDrive. Often, cloud storage is the default place where your library is stored. 

To avoid this:

Windows

  1. Before you create a new library, go to File Explorer > My Computer > Windows (C:).
  2. Create a new folder e.g. EndNote Libraries, EndNote References.
  3. Go to EndNote. Choose Create a new library or go to File > New.
  4. Choose the folder location you created.
  5. Remember this will be only available on that specific computer.

Mac

  1. Before you create a new library, go to Finder > click on the Go menu.
  2. Choose Home.
  3. Create a new folder e.g. EndNote Libraries, EndNote References.
  4. Go to EndNote. Choose Create a new library or go to File > New.
  5. Choose the folder location you created.
  6. Remember this will be only available on that specific computer.
