First: make libraries, groups; edit them
- You can keep all your reference records in one big library
- Use groups to subdivide libraries
- You can make multiple libraries, too
- Customize: columns to display, order for sorting
Second: get your records
- either: import refs (export them from databases then import them to EndNote; often a database will make an executable file which opens EndNote; use EndNote browser toolbar to make direct export to EndNote Web)
- or: use EndNote to search the databases (connection)
- import filters
- connection files
- you can add records manually, too

Getting your records from ProQuest (coming soon... ProQuest/CSA will have a new interface in 2010)
Getting your records from Google Scholar :
- Scholar preferences: Bibliography Manager: show links to import citations into EndNote
- While you're there, be sure your preferences are set to show University of Kentucky Library Links, so you'll get "Get Text @ UK"
- for your reference Google Scholar doesn't give you much metadata
Getting your records from InfoKat:
- easy to connect and search!
- InfoKat doesn't make a friendly export file
Getting your records from WorldCat FirstSearch:
- WorldCat records do not have the InfoKat call number
- Make a marked list or a saved list / Of course, you can always export one record at a time
- I can't find a good import format for WorldCat Local records: best to stick with WorldCat FirstSearch
Third: apply output styles
- APA 6th ed!
- You can edit the style. Be very careful... if you mess up you can always reload a fresh copy of the style. Ask me for help.
- For example, at the moment, EndNote APA 6th style might be rendering the journal article vol. element in italics! You can make that regular. And it puts a space before the doi number. You can delete that. Don't want the display of [type of article]? Zap! Etc., etc.
- but you can't edit styles using the web version of EndNote
- Cite-while-you-Write in Microsoft Word, etc.
- It's tempting, but don't do it: if you want to edit your citation once it's in your Word document...
- (know that when you CWYW insert citation you do have the option of excluding the author or year and of adding a "prefix" (e.g., "drop everything and check ") or a "suffix" (e.g., page number) in the in-line citation)
- ... if you want to edit your citation... just delete it from your Word doc
- go back to EndNote and edit your citation or your output style
- then re-insert it into your Word doc
- More, more, more: Format a bibliography or make subject bibliographies. Annotate them!
Using EndNote to get full text of articles; URLs and tables, etc.
- insert/attach graphics and files
- you can attach multiple files to a reference; you can re-attach the same file to any number of references
- but you can attach only one figure per reference
- this stuff goes into your .DATA file, so be sure to move/copy it, if...
- Where do you want EndNote to place your figures? To fix it you can edit your output style, if need be. Watch it make your list -o- figures!
- "find full text" to add a URL or to obtain the .pdf: attached to your reference "while you clean your oven!"
- Edit your EndNote preferences to Enable OpenURL; use this path copy this link And add this URL for the authenticating: http://ezproxy.uky.edu
- replace text in references: "change text"
