Using EndNote Connection Files to Search Databases
EndNote
can be used to search Z39.50-compliant
databases:
- connection
to the database is made via an EndNote Connection File
- the appropriate
Connection File must be present in the 'Connections'
folder
- many Connection
Files are provided with EndNote
- more Connection
files can
be Downloaded
- searching
is done using the familiar EndNote search box
- resulting references
are displayed in a temporary EndNote library
- all or selected
references can be copied from here to an existing
or new EndNote library
The following databases
are Z39.50-compliant and so can be searched in this
way:
These are included with the EndNote installation.
Importing
References into EndNote from other Databases
Databases
which are not Z39.50-compliant cannot be accessed
from within EndNote:
- searching
must be carried out using a web interface or
other software provided by the database supplier
- some databases
allow EXPORT of retrieved references
directly into an EndNote library
- other
databases allow results to be saved in a
format which is suitable for importing
into an EndNote library
- the
appropriate filter must be present in the
'Filters' folder
- many
Filters are provided with EndNote; others
can
be Downloaded
References
can be imported into EndNote from the
following databases/services:

SciFinder/Chemical Abstracts |
In
SciFinder save search results
in Tagged Format. In EndNote, import

Alternatively EXPORT Web of Science references directly into an EndNote
library:
Perform
Web of Science search then:
- EITHER check required references then click "Save to EndNote" or "Save to EndNoteWeb" button
- OR add desired references to the MARKED LIST and "Save to EndNote" or "Save to EndNoteWeb" from there. Use of the Marked List allows references to be accumulated from several searches, and provides more control over which parts of the reference are downloaded.
- Your
browser may prompt you to select the EndNote application and/or an EndNote library; the references
are then imported straight in
