I'm sorry, we don't have a record-locking network version, and don't expect
one until after next year.  In the current version, you can lock the EndNote
library or put it into a read-only folder (aka directory).  Then several
people (on Macs or PCs or both) can open the library at one time, but not
make any changes.

We recommend that the designated librarian have a second, unlocked copy.
They can make changes when appropriate, and then update the locked, shared
copy.

Yours,
