| How
do I get a copy of EndNote? |
|
EndNote
software is available to UNSW staff and postgraduate students from
the Division of Information Services, Software Distribution. For
more information on how to order your copy, go to the website:
http://www.acsu.unsw.edu.au/soft_home.htm
(click on View Software Index,
then the EndNote link).
|
|
|
| How

| Licences

($165 inc. GST). |
|
|
| What
is an EndNote library? |
| An
EndNote library is a database that stores your references. These references
can link to your word processing documents to create in-text citations
and bibliographies. EndNote libraries have a file extension of .enl.
In order to begin using EndNote, you will need to create a library,
or open an existing library. |
|
|
| How
do I transfer references saved from database searches into EndNote,
without retyping them? |
| References
saved from database searches can be imported into your EndNote
library, using the appropriate filter file. The filter will transfer
the data from your saved searches correctly into your library. You
will need to use the filter that matches the database name and provider
from which you saved the references (eg. Medline - OVID). This is
very important. To learn how to use filters, go to Section
2.2: Adding references by importing. |
|
|
| How
do I transfer references from one EndNote library into another? |
|
If
you would like to transfer the entire list of references from an
EndNote library into another library, you will need to import it
using the EndNote filter:
|
1.
|
Open
the library in which you wish to import your references. |
|
2.
|
Click
on File > Import... An Import window
will appear. |
|
3.
|
Click
on Choose File... and select the EndNote library from
which you wish to transfer the references (see figure below). |
|
4.
|
Next
to Import Option, select EndNote Library (if not
already selected). |
|
5.
|
Choose
your preferences for duplicates. |
|
6.
|
Leave
the Text Translation on No Translation. |
|
7.
|
Click
on Import. |
|
8.
|
EndNote
will display the recently imported references. To see all your
references, click on References > Show All.
|
| |
|
If
you wish to select specific references from one library to transfer
into another library, you can simply copy and paste. To do this:
|
1.
|
Select
your references by clicking on it. To select a range of references,
click on the first one and while holding down the Shift
key, click on the last reference in the range. To select multiple
references which are not next to each other, press the Ctrl
key and click on individual references. |
|
2.
|
Once
you have selected your reference(s), click on Edit >
Copy. |
|
3.
|
Open
to the library that you wish to add your references to. |
|
4.
|
Click
on Edit > Paste. |
|
|
|
| How
do I transfer references from my files saved in other citation managers
(eg. Procite and Reference Manager) into EndNote? |
|
You
can transfer references saved in other citation managers using the
import feature with the appropriate filter file (as outlined above).
|
1.
|
Open
the library in which you wish to import your references. |
|
2.
|
Click
on File > Import... An Import window
will appear. |
|
3.
|
Click
on Choose File... and select the EndNote library from
which you wish to transfer the references. |
|
4.
|
Next
to Import Option, select your filter
(ie. the one that matches your citation manager eg. Procite). |
|
5.
|
Choose
your preferences for duplicates. |
|
6.
|
Leave
the Text Translation on No Translation. |
|
7.
|
Click

references, click on References > Show All.

|
| What
is a filter file? |
| Go
to the section Filters for
more information. |
|
|
| What
is importing? |
| Importing
involves the transfer of references from another file into your EndNote
library using filters. This saves you time so that you don't have
to manually enter each reference. For more information, go to Section
2.2: Adding references by importing. |
|
|
| How
do I get other filters for importing my references? eg. APAIS filter
is not supplied with EndNote 5. |
|
Go
to the section Filters
for more information.
|
|
|
| What
is a connnection file? |
| Connection
files allow you to connect directly to a database through EndNote
and save the results into your EndNote library. While this may sound
convenient, the search interface provided by EndNote is heavily simplified,
and advanced features such as Subject Headings and Thesaurus
available in the databases cannot be accessed through EndNote connection
files. |
|
|
| How
do I use connection files to connect to a library database? |
| If you
choose to use connection files, you can connect to some of the library
databases (eg. OVID databases) using the following procedure:
1.
Open Endnote
2. Click on File and then Connect...
3. Select the database that you wish to connect to.
4. Click on "OK" when prompted for a login and password
(only if you are on campus or using the UDUS account from
home).
The
alternative method to using connection files is to perform your
search in the database in the usual manner, and then use filters
to import the data.
|
|
|
| The
EndNote Add-Ins (options) are not available in my Word programme,
even when EndNote is installed on my PC. |
| You
will need to install EndNote after the installation of Word
for the EndNote Add-Ins to appear. |
|
|
| How
do I make my library open automatically each time I start up EndNote? |
|
|
-
|
Open
the library or libraries that you wish to start up each time
EndNote opens. |
|
-
|
Click
on Edit > Preferences... |
|
-
|
Click
on Libraries. |
|
-
|
Click
on Add Open Libraries. This will list all the libraries
that are currently opened. |
|
-
|
Click
on OK. |
|
| |
| I
am using EndNote 5 at the moment - are there any support documents
and tutorials for this version? |
