What is an EndNote Library? How do I create an EndNote Library?

EndNote calls each collection of citations a Library. Each Library consists of 2 files, both of which are required. When you create an EndNote Library, a .ENL file with the same name as your Library, plus a .DATA folder are created. The .DATA folder is where all images, figures, etc. are stored. If you move your library to a different computer (or disc), or are going to share it, don't forget to move/share the .DATA folder as well.
