EndNote X5 Basics (Mac) C. Search databases from within EndNote If you are on the TSRI Network, you can connect through EndNote to our databases that have connection files. Be sure you use the database name and the provider from the list below: Medline (OVID) Web of Science (ISI) PubMed (NLM)-free First the library should open in My Library mode. If not you can go there by clicking on the old Mac icon. If you close the library in My Library mode, the library will open in My Library mode the next time you open it.

But be careful, ALL results go directly into the Library. - 10 -

D. Finding Full text 1. Set PDF Preferences a. PDF attachments: Go to the EndNote X7 menu and select Preferences Select URL& Links from the left menu This box is checked by default, which will create copies of PDFs and store them in the library. If you uncheck this box, adding a PDF file will only create a link to its current location on your computer. (Does not apply to PDFs found with Find Full Text feature.) 2. Finding Full Text NOTE: This feature is set to automatically run in the latest update to EndNote X7. This could be an issue with computing times and license restrictions!! Go to EndNote X7 >Preferences > Find Full Text and uncheck the box to automatically enable this feature. a. Using the Find Full Text feature Highlight one or more references. Go to References > Find Full Text > Find Full Text The search will run in the background. In some cases a URL will be added to the URL field instead of a PDF. - 11 -

b. Set SFX as the OpenURL tool: You can set up EndNote to use the Kresge Library s OpenURL tool, SFX, if the built in Find Full Text feature does not find anything. This will not only help you find more PDFs but also facilitate ordering via ILLiad, Kresge Library s interlibrary loan service. Go to the EndNote X7 menu and select Preferences Select Find Full Text from the left menu http://sfxhosted.exlibrisgroup.com/scripps/ Uncheck to turn off automatic Find Full Text Check the box next to Enable OpenURL.

Using the OpenURL Link resolver (SFX@TSRI) Highlight a reference, Then go to References > URL > OpenURL Link. A window will open with the SFX services. If electronic access is available, it will be the first link. Otherwise, use the link to ILLiad to order articles we do not own. (See a librarian for more information.) - 12 -

E. Exporting references 1. Export references Selected references can be exported directly from EndNote into an RTF. If any references are highlighted only those will export. To print all be sure all references are showing (References > Show all References) Or search for certain references using a keyword, author, keyword, etc. Or use the COMMAND or CTRL key to highlight more than one reference. Then References > Show Selected References Go to File > Export Be sure to note the location the file is saved. Name the file. Save file as type: Rich Text Format to have a word processing ready formatted list. Select Output Style. Click Save. Now go to Edit > Output Styles and select the style, it should now be in the drop down list. Finally, go to File > Print F. Sharing EndNote Libraries EndNote is designed as a single-user software, however, there may be times when you wish to share your library, for example with an admin who will add records to your library. 1. Compressed Library With the library open, go to File>Compressed Library (.enlx) You have the option to Create or Create & Email (will open Entourage) and the option to include attachments (be mindful of copyright!) Then choose which references: All references in the Library, or you may send only a Group, or some selected references. (Sending references this way maintains the Record Number, which is essential when working with Word documents.) Click Next Choose where to save the compressed library. - 13 -

2. EndNote Online/ Basic EndNote now comes with a free 2 year access to EndNote online, an online version of EndNote that you can sync with your desktop library (only one library can be synced) but you can share groups with collaborators. This is great for keeping your library up to date on several computers. You can assign read and read/write access to your groups so collaborators can add or remove references from your shared group. You can use Cite-While-You-Write directly from the Online version and you and your collaborators can cite from the shared group online. HOWEVER, the group you share will not sync to the other users desktop version. It will sync on your desktop, but it will only be available to them online. They can add the records to their library, but this could change the record number. To set up your EndNote Web account: Open the library you want to sync with the web version. If you already have a Web of Science alert account, that is also your EndNote Web login. To sign up for an EndNote Web account, go to Tools > Sync Click the Sign up button and follow the instructions to register for an account. This information should be populated in the Sync menu. Go to EndNote X7 menu >Preferences Select Sync Click Enable Sync Enter your email and password you used to create the EndNote Online account. Select your sync preferences. 3. Another option is to put the library on a shared drive. Only one user will be able to open EndNote at a time, and all users must have permissions to read and write to it (see IT for more information about permissions). - 14 -

G. Global Changes There are times when it would be useful to make a change to a set of references in a library, or even to all references in a library. Here are a few examples. CAUTION: There is no Undo feature for these global changes. Be sure to read all windows before clicking OK. 1. Edit > Change text This will change the text (like a find/replace) in any field or in a selected field. Great for misspellings or adapting subject terms 2. Tools > Change and Move Fields Used for adding the same term(s) to multiple records at once, or moving the contents of a field to another in multiple records. Be sure to select the field, e.g., Keywords o Keywords is a special field that gets indexed (like Author and Journal ) so you want to be sure new terms are on a separate line, or separated by a semicolon ; Use the Insert Special drop down menu to put a Carriage Return between entries. Click OK Read the pop-up window to be sure it is only editing the records you are showing Click OK - 15 -

H. Using Groups EndNote X7 allows you to group references within a library. 1. Custom Groups Highlight the references (hold the ctrl key while marking several references). Go to Groups > Add References to Choose a Group listed or select Create Custom Group. Type in a name (for new group). 2. Using Smart Groups You can also set up Smart Groups that will automatically update with new records you import when the search criteria match. E.g., author is lerner, r Set up a search (e.g., author Contains learner, r), click Search Click on the gear button next to the Search button. Select Convert to Smart Group. Type in a name for the Smart Group. 3. Using Group Sets For an extra level of organization, EndNote X6 allows you to create Group Sets, which are simply folders for placing multiple Groups and/or Smart Groups together. Go to Groups>Create Group Set. Type in a name for the new Group Set. Drag Groups and Smart Groups to the Group Set. - 16 -

I. CWYW - Cite While You Write Cite While You Write (CWYW) is a feature in EndNote that allows you to insert citations into a paper and format the MS Word, or Apple Pages 09 document to the journal publication style requirements of hundreds of journals and publishers. Please refer to the additional handout for your word processor. All the functionality is the same, but some of the tools names and how you access them may have changed from older versions of EndNote. NOTE: If you use any other word processing program use the Format Paper tool to format an.rtf document. J. Format Paper (for use with unsupported word processed documents) When using another word processing software, insert references into the paper in the following format: {author last name, year #reference number} Example: {Agah, 2005 #105} The reference number is found in the header of the record in the EndNote library. This number can also be displayed in the Display Fields showing at the top of the library. To do this, go to EndNote > Preferences and choose Display Fields. Select Reference Number from near the top of the pull down menu list. - 17 -

When the paper is finished, save it as an rtf (rich text format) file. Close the paper. Open the EndNote library the references from the paper come from. Go to Tools > Format Paper> Format Paper. Select the rtf file you just saved. Select the Output Style. Click Format. The default name will be the paper name with the output style name tacked on (for example: mypaper-acs). This is recommended. (To format in a different style you will need to have the original unformatted file.) Choose Where to save the file and click Save. To save in another Output Style format, repeat these steps with the original, unformatted rtf file. - 18 -
