It is highly recommended that all students upgrade the EndNote program to EndNote 21. EndNote 21 was not available at the time of the workshop however, with EndNote 21 you will be able to access the new EndNote Web which is the newest online version of EndNote (different to EndNote Online). You will need this in order to share your library to other members of the group.
For those students who were able to share libraries through the older version of EndNote 20 with EndNote Online, it is still recommended to upgrade to EndNote 21 (with the new EndNote web), so that it works for all members of the group.
Note: The licence for the older EndNote online may expire before your group finishes the research/systematic review therefore, it is best to upgrade to EndNote 21 now.
