EndNote 21 is now available to the McGill community. Installers for both Mac and PC are available on the Citation guide. EndNote 21 has the same functionality as EndNote 20 and comes with a new feature - colour coded tagging (similar to Zotero). Before installing EndNote 21, please make sure to uninstall EndNote 20.
On August 11, 2023, UNIWeb will no longer be accessible to McGill staff and students. Given the very low usage rate and relatively high cost of the UNIWeb license, the decision has been taken to discontinue access to this tool.
