EndNote Web is now available!
From on campus, visit EndNoteWeb.com and click on the “EndNote Web Login” link to sign up for an account. If you already have a personal account in Web of Science, you should already have access.
Once you have signed up, you can begin to use EndNote Web from any web-accessible computer. You can:
- import references from any database (Web of Science, WorldCat, PubMed, etc.)
- save citations to folders
- download plugins to create footnotes and bibliographies in Microsoft Word
If you are currently using EndNote software on your personal computer (version X.0.2 or higher), you can transfer references seamlessly between it and EndNote Web. Earlier versions of EndNote can import references from EndNote Web via a text file.
The library will also continue to offer , a similar web-based citation management tool, to the Gustavus community.
For more information on using EndNote Web, see their online tutorials.

Primary Sources: New York Times & More
Purchased last spring, the Historical New York Times contains the full text of the paper from its first issue in 1851 to 2003. An additional year of content is added annually (2004 content will be added next summer), with our subscription to ProQuest Newsstand filling the gap. The database is fully indexed and searchable with full-page images, including graphics. Now we just need volunteers to help move our microfilm into storage!
