Frequently Asked Questions

I can't connect to EUCLID using the connection file that came with EndNote!

The Emory connection file that shipped with older versions of EndNote is out of date. In order to search EUCLID with a connection file, you must download an updated file. Save to the Connections folder inside your EndNote program folder, or simply upgrade to the latest version of EndNote (which includes the updated connection file).

Should I use one library for all my references, or separate libraries for different projects?

It's entirely up to you; there's no right or wrong way to organize your files. Just remember to back up your files regularly.

I already have a long bibliography that I typed in Word. Can I convert it to an EndNote library?

Unfortunately there's no way to do this automatically. The best way is to search for your references online and download them into a new library using connection files or import filters.

How do I download search results from my favorite database into EndNote?

Every database works a little differently. In general, you'll need to either use the database's direct export function, or save your search results to a text file and import it using a filter. For more details, see the EndNote at Emory download instruction page or chapter 7 of the EndNote manual.

I tried using a connection file to search a database, but it asks for a password.

Remember that EndNote includes connection files for databases to which Emory doesn't subscribe, so you may not be able to connect. Check with the Emory Libraries to see if Emory subscribes to the database you want, and e-mail the EndNote-L listserv (endnote-l@listserv.cc.emory.edu) if you're still having trouble connecting.

How do I add page numbers to an in-text citation?

Right-click the formatted citation and choose "Edit Citation" from the menu. Fill in the page numbers (including spaces and punctuation) in the "Pages" field, click OK, then reformat your bibliography.
