Installing the software
The University Library supports: EndNote, Mendeley & Zotero.
Mendeley and Zotero can be downloaded and installed individually.
Employees with a managed (green and orange) workstation can contact the UCIT Service Desk to get EndNote assigned to the workstation.
Students and employees with an unmanaged (red) workstation or a private device can download EndNote at: download.vu.nl. No VU Wi-Fi connection is needed for this.
VUmc employees can request EndNote at the ICT Servicedesk VUmc. The software will then be placed in the user profile under VIEW, the secure workplace system of the VUmc. VUmc staff cannot place software on their computer themselves. They can also use EndNote under VIEW at home.
