    EndNote uses citation styles to output text. The citation styles most commonly used at Candler are not bundled with Endnote and must be downloaded
    1. Turabian -- this style includes Footnotes and a Bibliography.
    2. Chicago 16th A --this is the Chicago style that uses footnotes.
    3. Society of Biblical Literature Notes (SBL) -- this is for the Society of Biblical Literature style, but be aware that using this style in EndNote requires customization. Here is EndNote's caveat and the download file: http://www.endnote.com/support/ensbl.asp

    • The default is called My Library and is created when you install the program
    • EndNote opens this library each time it is launched unless preferences are changed
    • You can create new / separate libraries:
      • Select "File" --> "New"
      • Select a name and location for your library

    Materials can be organized in groups and sub-groups or in separate libraries.  See the "Organizing Materials" tab in this guide.
