EndNote installs MLA Style with a flaw. Follow the instructions to fix it yourself in EndNote.

• In EndNote, click Edit > Output Styles > Open Style Manager.
• Scroll down to MLA. Doubleclick to edit.
• On the left side menu, click Anonymous Works.
• Select "Use short title in place of author."
• Close the window.
• If asked "Save changes before closing?" save as MLA to replace the flawed style.

Instead of fixing the flaw yourself, if you prefer, you may download the following file to replace that flawed file. Install to your hard drive at C:\Program Files\EndNote X7\Styles and the EndNote software will automatically detect it.

Save the following citation styles to the folder (usually) located at
C:\Program Files\EndNote X?\Styles
to be able to use them in EndNote

EndNote is a bibliographic management software. This software will store, create, and manage your citation information and format and insert the citations for you into a Microsoft Word document. The many existing citation styles follow very strict rules. Computers are excellent at following rules so a software program that formats citations for you can work very well. But computers are not good at exceptions to rules. For this reason, you still must learn the rules of your citation style(s) so that you can tell EndNote when to make an exception.

EndNote is very useful if you will be writing many papers or if you are working on a long-term research project where you expect to collect many, many citations. However, it does take time to learn so do not try to learn EndNote in order to complete a paper due only a few days later.

The Indiana State University Library has a site license to EndNote to make it freely available to ISU faculty, staff, and students. Those not affiliated with ISU must purchase the software.

At this time the ISU Library recommends that you NOT upgrade to EndNote 20. We recommend that you install or continue to use EndNote X9. 

BUT if you have an Apple computer using the Big Sur operating system or the Monterrey operating system, you should install EndNote 20. Big Sur and Monterrey will not run EndNote X9.

At this time the ISU Library recommends that you NOT upgrade to EndNote 20. Install or continue to use EndNote X9, if possible.
