Create an EndNote Library

All references are stored in EndNote “Libraries”. To create an EndNote Library:

1. File > New > (New reference library box opens)

2. Provide a file name and click Save (Fig. 1).

All EndNote Libraries have an *.enl file extension. EndNote Libraries are large: maximum capacity of an EndNote Library is 32,000 references or 32MB, whichever comes first.
