Once you have installed EndNote desktop (EN20 or EN21) on your device, you should see the EndNote programme listed on your device, possibly under 'All Apps'.
Now you're ready to add some references!
Your two linked default EndNote library files should be stored on your device to prevent corruption. Therefore:
