EndNote Click for libraries
Increase the value and usage of your library holdings
Bring your subscriptions and open access content into your researchers' workflows in one click with EndNote Click, a free browser plugin.
Is EndNote Click configured to provide subscription access to your institution?
Used at over 2,000 institutions worldwide
“A librarian will change your life! Drew @WCM_Library taught me about @EndNoteNews this week. One-click instant access to tons of article PDFs! Hope this will help someone else stop using roundabout ways to access papers! Reclaim your time!”
“EndNote Click complements the Library's link resolver system, by providing an additional access option for our community. Caltech users appreciate that it can find a legitimate Open Access copy of a paper not included in our subscription content. EndNote Click does not require the repeated input of access credentials.“
“We have many research staff here who rely on the library's subscriptions, but never set foot in the library or even visit the library homepage to look for journal access, so EndNote Click is a great tool for them. We're planning to continue promoting EndNote Click and are encouraging users to sign up.“
Key Benefits for libraries
One-click access to legal full-text articles
EndNote Click gives your patrons one-click access from within their existing workflows. Help researchers spend less time struggling with access, and more time reading the papers they need, anytime, anywhere.
Streamline access both on and off campus
EndNote Click lets your patrons seamlessly access their library subscription both on campus via IP authentication, and off-campus using your library’s authentication infrastructure.
Drive increased usage of your journal subscriptions
EndNote Click ensures that your library subscriptions are conveniently available at the point of need across more than 20,000 academic platforms, eliminating the appeal of illegitimate alternatives. Usage is automatically COUNTER compliant so you get visibility of which resources are being used.
Find the best legally-available version of a research paper
EndNote Click always prioritizes the Version of Record directly from the publisher. When not available via your existing subscription, it will search for an open access alternative in repositories, discovery services and other legitimate sources of access.
Builds on your existing authentication systems
EndNote Click uses your existing authentication infrastructure and respects your current configuration.
Ensure your patron's privacy
EndNote Click is strongly committed to individual user privacy. All sensitive details are encrypted using industry standard security and never stored on our servers. See our Data Principles for more information.
Link Resolver Integration
EndNote Click now integrates with your institutional link resolver via OpenURL to help researchers avoid dead ends. When EndNote Click is unable to provide one-click access to a PDF via subscription or to an open access alternative, users will now be directed back to your link resolver, providing access to aggregator content, non-digital holdings and other resources you specify, such as document delivery or interlibrary loans.
