Important notes

Whenever you download references into your EndNote library make sure you check that the new references have moved across correctly before merging them with your existing library.

Sometimes there are known problems with the different releases of EndNote software. The EndNote website provides updates to correct these.

ACLS Humanities E-Book

• When you have completed a search look at your Search Results list.
• Copy the Title, Author and Publication Info. details for each reference you wish to place in your EndNote library. These are the only fields available.

• Paste the details into a text document. Notepad works well.
• Leave a blank line in between each book entry.
• When you have finished your list save the list as a text document (.txt).
• Launch EndNote.
• Import your text file using the ACLS Humanities E-Book filter. If this is not installed on your machine, download a copy from the UNE Filters page.

AustLit

To download a record from AustLit:

• Perform a search in AustLit.
• Click in the check box next to the record or records you wish to download.
• Scroll to the bottom of the page.
• Click in the Marked check box under Select Works.
• Select EndNote using the drop-down menu under Export/Format On Screen As
• Click on the Go button.
• When prompted, click on Open.
• Your EndNote software will be opened and you can choose the library where you wish to save the references.
• When prompted choose the Austlit filter. If this is not installed on your machine, it is available from the UNE Filters page.

Cinahl

• Click Save.
• Nominate the library where you wish to put your downloaded references when prompted.

Emerald

Before you can download citations from the Emerald database, you need to register and create an Emerald profile. Once you have done this, you are able to save your references to a marked list and then download them as an ASCI file. From there you go to EndNote and import the list using the Emerald filter provided.

 

Engineering Village (GeoBASE & GeoRef)

Gale databases

• If you see a box Opening uml_view.cgi appear, you can choose to open it with the application EndNote.
