References to DVDs and Videos

If you want to add a reference to a DVD or video to your EndNote library, you will need to enter it manually using the audiovisual reference type.

Complete the fields for author, year, title, city (although this might be a country) and publisher (distributor). Scroll down the record to find the Format field and enter DVD or Video.

Your reference should then format correctly e.g.

Radford, M. (2004) William Shakespeare's the Merchant of Venice. [DVD] UK: Shylock Trading Limited
