Libraries Preferences

To access these settings, go to the Edit menu, select Preferences, and then click Libraries in the list of preferences.

Choosing a Library to Open

Use the Libraries preferences section to specify which libraries should open by default when you start EndNote. First, use the drop-down list to choose from these options:

• Open the most recently used library
• Open the specified libraries
• Prompt to select a library
• Do nothing

If you opt to Open the specified libraries, you must list those specified libraries here. To add a library to the list:

1. If the library is not already open, close the preferences dialog and open the library. Do this by selecting Open from the File menu, and then selecting the desired library.
   
   You can have more than one library open in EndNote, and you can set EndNote to open more than one library automatically when the program starts. Just open all the libraries you want to open automatically, then select the Open the specified libraries option.
2. Return to the Libraries section of the Preferences dialog, and click Add Open Libraries to add all open libraries to the list.

To remove a library from this list, select it in the Libraries panel, and then click Remove Library.

Of course, once EndNote is started, you can always open a library by selecting Open from the File menu.
