Galter librarians have also created video tutorials for the previous version, EndNote X9, which cover all the basics. However, there are enough differences with EndNote 20, that we recommend using the newer video tutorials on the EndNote YouTube channel for the best EndNote 20 training experience.
Our EndNote X9 videos are hosted in Northwestern Medicine's institutional repository, DigitalHub, and require an NU NetID login. Once in DigitalHub, click the "Download" link for the best quality.
