Creating Multiple Bibliographies with EndNote

It is really easy to create your own citation style in EndNote so that a seperate bibliography appears at the end of each chapter of your document. Here are the steps:

  • Open the predefined output style you would like to use (just double click in the style manager).
  • There are different output style options available on the sections panel. Choose the appropriate option: Create a bibliography for each section and also a complete bibliography at the end of the document.

  • Save your changes (Save as) by copying the existing output style and giving it a unique name.
  • You have to break your Microsoft Word document into sections before you can format your bibliography using the new output style.

Works with EndNote X3 and higher.

EndNote Guides and Video Tutorials

A good way to get started with EndNote is to visit the Information Retrieval Services’ (IVS-BM) website. The page EndNote short notes will give you a quick overview and by attending an online workshop you could learn more about the system.

Some other guides and video tutorials we would like to recommend you are the following:

If you have any questions or problems regarding EndNote please feel free to contact the library and we will always be happy to help you.
