Disabling Zotero

If you have Zotero (a free reference management programme) on your PC you may find that when you try to export references to you EndNote library they automatically go into Zotero instead. To stop this from happening you will need to temporarily disable the Zotero plugin by following the steps below:

Firefox

• From the Tools menu select Add-ons
• Find the Zotero entry and click the Disable button.
• Close the Add-ons window down

Note: you may need to restart your browser to activate these changes.

Internet Explorer

• From the Tools menu and select Manage Add-ons
• Select Enable or Disable Add-ons...
• Click on the Zotero entry
• Under Settings click Disable
• Click on OK.

Using EndNote with a Mac

The version of the EndNote software purchased by the University is for use with Windows and is not compatible with Macs.

It is possible to purchase an individual EndNote licence for use with a Mac from Adept Science at a reduced student rate. Alternatively, you could try looking at the open source reference management software Zotero. Although you will not be able to format references automatically into the Coventry University Harvard Style, you should be able to get a close match which can then be altered as needed.
