To create a bibliography in EndNote Basic start under "format" and choose "bibliography". You will have three options before you can save or print your bibliography:

1. References: Choose from your organized groups of references, all of your references, or your unfiled references.
2. Bibliographic Style: Choose a style from the drop-down list. You can also create a favorites list that will limit the drop-menu to those styles you select.
3. File Format: Choose from HTML (best for print option), TXT, or RTF.

Once you have made your selections you can save the file, email it, or preview & print the bibliography.
