There is really no new functionality to speak of (I don't consider Spotlight searching to be all that helpful, you might) but what is there is noticably better than the prior version.
This is basically what EN6 *should* have been. Sorting (granted the ENL i was testing only has ~400 refs in it) is much quicker and downloading refs from PubMed is faster as well (it downloads in chunks of 20 refs as opposed to one at a time which drove me craaaaazy). Also, while the performance of the bib creation in Word 2004 is unchanged, performance within the app itself is definitely better. The GUI has received a minor update and IMHO is a bit more intuitive. As much as it surprises me to be saying this, EN9 seems to be a significant improvement over the other OSX-compatible versions. Well I DLed the demo and checked it out (probably should have done that first!). Was anyone here involved in the beta test cycle? In your opinion, are these features/bug fixes worth the price of admission? These new features along with other enhancements make EndNote the bibliographic solution for the entire spectrum of international users'”from students to professional researchers. EndNote 9 offers easy portability of customized reference field and type information for collaboration with colleagues. New benchmarks optimize performance in EndNote 9 for sorting, importing and exporting large reference libraries. Users can connect to native language libraries worldwide with expanded record syntax and text encoding. Using EndNote 9 with enhanced Unicode support, researchers and scholars can import, export, cite references and create bibliographies for their papers in any language. In a single Spotlight search, users can locate EndNote references as well as other files on their Mac system. Increased Connectivity and Expanded Unicode SupportĮndNote 9 is among the first academic tools to support the new desktop search technology, Spotlight. 'In addition, users will find improved performance and expanded Unicode, making EndNote a valuable product for researchers worldwide.' Kochalko, president, Thomson ResearchSoft. 'We are pleased to provide EndNote 9 for our Macintosh users, who will enjoy the ability to search EndNote libraries using Spotlight for Mac OS X Tiger,' said David L. So Endnote 9 was released yesterday and from looking at the announcement the only significant change is spotlight searching of EN libs.
