Microsoft Word does not have EndNote commands on the "public" ad/gcn log in machines - computers in ITS labs, patron log in machines in the ref room and in the reading room, all citi lab machines, etc.
Also, the new security prevents users from installing EndNote Web commands inside MS Word on these machines.
Therefore - anyone who wants to use EndNote or EndNote Web to write a paper on those computers is currently SOL.
ITS knows about this and is investigating a temporary workaround and considering the computer image for the spring. There are tech problems but also policy problems. One unit on campus let ITS know that the EndNote commands in Word were interfering with online tests for their students (resulted in marking answers incorrect).
ERIT also has been notified. We don't know whether ERIT support will be able to fix this in the library, since they're now much more limited in how they can set up the log in computers.
Notifications have been posted on the EndNote Deskop libguide and copied from there to the EndNote Web libguide (welcome tabs and CWYW tabs).
Thanks,
Lea
