Version X3 of EndNote is available for download from downloads.reed.edu.

Current X2 users may find that items with a publication date of 2010 or later will not import the year data. When this occurs, the year must be added manually (see Support FAQs  for more details).

Both EndNote X3 and EndNote Web import the publication date correctly. The easiest solution is to upgrade to EndNote X3. If a user can not upgrade for whatever reason, an updated fix for X2 can be downloaded from:

Please contact CUS or a reference librarian for more information.
