Downloading References to EndNote from the Library Catalogue
EndNote can connect to databases itself, and you can search them from
the program, rather than having to manually open Web of Knowledge (for
example). Although this is simpler, its use is limited, as not all databases
will return the results you want. Nonetheless, the option is available,
and it is the route you need to use to search the Library Catalogue for
references.
Before EndNote and the Library catalogue can communicate with each other
you will need to download the
Bradford connection file. (Learner Support Services PCs should already
have this installed). You will need your University username and password
to download the file. The file will then need to be saved in the Connections
folder in EndNote (e.g. C:\Program Files\ENDNOTE\CONNECTIONS). (Connection
files available for other libraries from the Endnote
website).
- In your EndNote Library, click on Tools
and the submenu Connect.
- From the Choose a Connection File box select U of Bradford
from the list and then Connect to connect to the University of Bradford
Library Catalogue.
- To select the field(s) you want to search from
EndNote's Search window, click on the arrow to access
the drop-down menu, and highlight your choice.
- Type your search term in the text box below. If
you have another term to search for, select And, Or,
or Not from the space between the two boxes, then select
the field and enter the term as before. Click on Search.
- When the Confirm Remote Search
window opens, click on the OK button, and the results will be displayed.
- To save all the results into your EndNote Library,
click on Copy All References To and select the Library
where you want them to go.
- If you only want to keep some of the results,
you need to highlight the references you want, before moving them over
to your EndNote Library. (NB - hold down the Ctrl key while selecting
with the mouse to highlight more than one).
- Once all the relevant titles are selected click
on Copy ... References To ... button, and choose from
the drop-down menu which EndNote Library you want to send your references
to.
- Close the window in which your references appeared
by clicking on the X in the top-right corner, then close the EndNote
Search window by doing the same.
- When you are asked if you want to discard the
references, click on OK - don't worry, they will still
be in your EndNote Library!
