If you don't already have the 'U Reading' in the list of Online Search connections you will need to download our connection file via the link below. See our guide for instructions on using the Online Search to download references from our catalogue.ĭownloading the connection file for our catalogue For best results make sure that your search is specific and well constructed - too general a search might retrieve thousands of useless records and it not easy to refine your search once you have your results. It is possible to use it to download records from our own catalogue. However, the Online Search can work well when searching Library catalogues. Searching a database directly and then using Direct export to get the references into your library is the best method, or downloading and importing references if the first option is not available. there can be technical difficulties with the z3950 technology it uses.it offers very limited searching functionality making it hard to refine your search.We do not recommend using the EndNote Online Search to find references because:
The EndNote Online search uses connection files to allow you to connect directly to a database from within EndNote and download into your Library. You will need to create a folder called 'Filters' in this location (if it doesn't already exist). Save the style to the following location in your N drive: ĭrive\\My Documents\EndNote.
Option 3: for computers in the PC labs on campus For earlier versions of Windows save to C:\Users\\Documents\EndNote.
For Windows 10 users this is in Documents\EndNote\Filters (you might need to create the EndNote\Filters folders if they don't already exist). Save the Filter to your personal folders on your computer. Option 2: for a University-owned computer you don’t have admin rights on If you do not have administrative rights on the computer you might not be able to do this. Save it to the Filters folder in the EndNote program folder on your C: drive (or Applications if using a Mac). There are three options depending on the computer you are using:
If you download a filter you must save it into a location where EndNote can find it. See the following guide for step-by-step instructions: Once your references are imported, open a couple to make sure the fields have been filled in correctly. EndNote comes with a range of import options, others are available to download for Desktop EndNote from the EndNote Import Filters download site (see below). Because the information in each database is organised in different ways, there is a different import option for each database. The import option will map the information in each downloaded reference to the corresponding fields in EndNote.
