New EndNote user

I have just got EndNote and have started adding references but have a query. A recent post was asking about how many libraries to use and it was recommended only one. I intend to have my main library for all my books, articles etc etc etc but I also need a library for images and also manuscripts. The images, I think should be kept separate, but can I include the manuscripts in my main library and then have a separate bibliography or section of bibliography for them? Is this how EnfNote works? Please excuse my ignorance.

And please excuse my bad spelling!

at least manuscripts you can keep in the same library as the rest of references. And in the paper they go in a normal reference list, not seperately.;

Why wouldn't you want everything in the one library? I can't see why it would make sense to have everything separate? I just have one library and one reference section in my stuff - the reference section is for all types of references sorted alphabetically. DO you need to do something differnet?

Having spent the afternoon trying to get the hang of EndNote I can see that there is no need for more than one library. However I am storing my images separately for different purposes and I will include ones I am going to use in my main library as then it will be easier to add them in as Fig 1,2 etc etc.

Cool. EndNote can be a right pain to set up and get used to but it will save you time & energy in the long run. Good luck!
