Sharing references allow you to work effectively with your collaborators in a group project. You can share your EndNote library with your collaborators so that all parties can add, edit or remove references at the same time. You can also share references from a particular Group in your EndNote library.
The table below summarizes 4 ways to share your references in EndNote. If you don't need to update the references with your collaborators simultaneously, you may consider sharing your references with a traveling library or a compress library which are less complicated when comparing to share the entire library and a group of references.

Do check if you have the right to share full-text articles with other researchers, in particular for non-PolyU users. Remember, EndNote does not prevent you from sharing content, but this does not mean that you have the permission and the right to distribute the full-text of these articles.
