A: Yes.  Visit the ITS EndNote Support page.  Scroll down to the install instructions for "Non-Standard Loyola Computers / Personal Devices" and choose the appropriate operating system for the download. 

Q: Can I access EndNote using the Loyola VPN?

A: Yes, you can download and access EndNote while accessing your Loyola desktop machine.  To remain connected to the EndNote client on your Loyola desktop machine, you will need to remain connected to the VPN.  You can also sign up for EndNoteWeb using the VPN.  EndNoteWeb can be used remotely and then synced with EndNote when you are able to connect to your campus computer.
