EndNote  Tags: citation citing_sources  

The most basic way to enter a reference is by typing it in.  Click References menu / New.  Remember to enter multiple author names on separate lines.  Press Tab to move between fields.

Click Tools menu / Online Search / New Search... (On version X or earlier, click Tools menu / Connect / Connect…) Choose the resource to search, then enter your search terms. Use the Copy button to download references into your library, or drag and drop references from the remote window into your library.

Important: If you encounter an error when connecting to EUCLID, your connection file is probably out of date. Upgrading EndNote to the latest version will fix this.

Search the database via the web interface as you normally would. Select the references you want, then save or export them. Many databases now export directly to Endnote. Some databases require that you save the results as a text file and then import them into your EndNote library.

Every database works a little differently, but the EndNote import filter for the particular database includes information on how to import the results. To see these filters, in EndNote select Edit/Import Filters/Open Filter Manager. Select the filter that matches the name of your database and you can see the download instructions within the filter information.
