12 3. Import Filter: Find and transfer references (two-step) Some catalogues and databases do not export directly to EndNote so you will need to download some special filters. If you are trying this tutorial on your home computer or laptop please pause now and follow the download instructions from the Library website at Frequently used filters you will need to add are Otago Library Catalogue, Te Puna, INNZ, and possibly Emerald and PubMed. Once installed restart EndNote and continue with this tutorial. Step One: Export from database, creating text file a. In your web browser, find the Library Homepage and open the Catalogue b.

Re-sort references by clicking on grey headings (Author, Year, Title) Practice Exercise: In the web browser, go to Article Databases Select Index New Zealand from the list of popular databases (left-hand box) Run an advanced search for articles about whale watching (or topic of choice) Select three citations, choose Citation download, then click Print/Save to save the file called tourism.txt to your Desktop Import the text file using the Index New Zealand (INNZ) filter. If it does not appear choose Other filters then select INNZ from that list Check the citations are correct Set the EndNote library to display all references Note: If you use PubMed or OVID request special helpsheets for use with EndNote from 4. Connection files: not recommended except to confirm reference They connect directly to databases from within Endnote, but you lose the finetuned search options available via database interfaces. However, some sources (Bodleian library, for example) do not support import filters. In those cases, connection files are the only way to extract citations. To learn more, refer to EndNote Help, contact ITS HelpDesk or attend ITS training course. 5. Link to FullText of article via EndNote a. URL (link to article online in database) Within your EndNote Library: double-click a citation to view fields Find the URL field 2 Import filters are already installed on student desktop machines. Import filters can be downloaded from the library website if using a laptop from 14

15 Selecting this link will take you back to the database where you located the article citation (e.g. Academic Search Complete) Note: If you are off-campus, you may need to connect to EZ Proxy before reaching the database b. PDF (link to local copy of article) Within your EndNote Library: choose (highlight) citation to link to PDF Click the <URL> which takes you to the PDF source Open the PDF file from the database window. Save the PDF to your desktop Find and drag the PDF from your desktop onto this record 3 The paper clip attachment icon now displays on the left-hand side of the citation in your EndNote library. Open the citation (double-click) and view PDF within the EndNote record If you remove the PDF from the original folder, it will be stored in the associated EndNote data folder. 3 Documents and images (up to 45) may also be included in your EndNote Library. 15

16 6. Grouping References EndNote X2 allows you to group references into Customised or Smart Group sections. A maximum of 500 groups per Library is permitted. Customise the name for, e.g. Chapter 1, Chapter 2, or keep groups for separate research papers or topics in a project, e.g. Psyc 486, PHIL 490. The side bar shows All References which is your entire library. Create a New Group and Add References to it: From the Groups menu select Create Group OR right-click Custom Groups in the left bar and select Create Group Type the new group name then click <Enter>. e.g. Chapter 1 The new group contains no references yet Click on All References to return to your entire library Select two References by highlighting them. Use your CTRL key if they are side by side, or positioned apart in the list Drag the selected References to the new group, OR go to Groups>Add References to>chapter 1 Smart Groups Smart Groups differ from Custom Groups as they are based on selected search terms from within your EndNote library or within a Custom Group, using the new Search tab in the lower pane. Save the results as a new Smart Group for later analysis and reference. Select all records or select required records. Go to Groups>Create Smart Group. The Smart Group will dynamically update itself as you add/remove references to your library that match your search. 16

17 C. USING YOUR CITATIONS IN DOCUMENTS & WRAP-UP Section Summary Insert selected citations from EndNote into your Word 2007 document, ie. Cite While You Write. Edit citations to add page numbers.

19 ADDITIONAL TIPS & HINTS 1. EndNote X2 toolbar Import Export Online Search Insert Citation Format Bibliography Return to Word Processor file 2. Finding references in EndNote You may wish to find a particular citation within your EndNote Library. To do so: a. Within EndNote, go to the Search tab in the lower pane b. Type word(s) you wish to search, in either Any Field, or a selected field c. Choose <Search Whole Library> 3. Quick Search EndNote X2 offers a Quick Search box on the top menu bar find References by keyword author or title, etc. instead of using the advanced Search tab in the lower pane. 4. Suppressing unwanted fields You may prefer to suppress citation fields which are unused (this can make it easier to view the populated fields on a single screen). To do so: a. Within EndNote, double-click a citation to reveal the full record b. Above the citation, on the right-hand side, select <Hide Empty Fields> c. Click again, to reverse this process, and <Show Empty Fields> 5. Sorting references f. Within your EndNote screen of References click on the grey headers, e.g. Author to sort in alphabetical order, or Year, or Record Number. If you click a second time it sorts in reverse order. g. Sorting by Record Number is helpful to locate the latest References added to your list, if you have not renamed a column header as Added to Library, or Last Updated. 6. Finding and deleting duplicate citations When searching a variety of databases, it is possible to import the same citation more than once. This can become a problem in large EndNote Libraries, with hundreds of citations. It is important to be able to find these duplicates, choose the most complete citation, and delete the duplicate citation. To do so: a. Within EndNote, go to <References> and select <Find Duplicates> b. Any duplicate citations will display c. Check the record contents before selecting the citation(s) you wish to delete d. Go to References and select <Move References to Trash> (Ctrl + D) 19

20 Note: The Record Number assigned to a deleted Reference will not be re-used so if sorting by Record Number there will be gaps eventually. Note: If using Online Search the Edit-Preferences-Duplicates can be set to automatically discard duplicates already in your Library. 7. Find Full Text If you want to check for free PDF fulltext of your EndNote Library records go to References>Find full text. Copyright restrictions may disallow access to some subscriber-only fulltext. 8. ing your EndNote Library (plus your PDFs) If you are on dial-up internet access at home it may be easier to search for, and save, citations to a University EndNote Library (access via the Start menu). You can then this Library to yourself, and merge it with your existing EndNote Library. Any PDFs which have been dragged into your Library will also be included. To do so: a. Create and populate an EndNote Library via the Student Desktop b. Choose File>Send to>compressed Library save new file to Desktop c. This file looks slightly different to the.enl file this file ending is.enlx d. Attach this.enlx file to an and send (to yourself) e. On your own computer, double-click the ed Library to open f. Copy/paste the ed citations into your local Library g. All citations, plus any associated PDFs will now appear in your preferred EndNote Library. Note: When tested, the PDFs compressed to , although when the initial PDFs were large, the file was still quite large. 9. Formatting your Bibliography in Word Once your citations have been transferred into your Word document you may wish to format your bibliography, e.g. add a title and change the spacing between citations. All formatting can easily be done in Word, as usual. Further tips: a. Check all imported citations, to eliminate any errors b. Layout looks best with no additional line spaces within each citation, but with at least 1.5 line spacing between citations c. Text font and size can also be managed from within Word Note: If further editing is required, but the EndNote styles disallow, you can Remove Field Codes once the document is finalised in Word. You cannot return to your original document with Field Codes in place. 10. Print only your Bibliography in Word 2007 Select all your references in your full EndNote Library or Customised Group Library. Ensure the correct output style is displaying. FileExport and save as a rich-text formatted (.rtf) file. Open your file in Word It will display in alphabetical order by author, no matter which column you last sorted your references by. This is useful for visual correction. 20

21 11. Printing a Bibliography sorted by type of reference E.g. Journals then books then conference papers You need to change the sorting order by altering the Output Style preferences. Go to Edit >Output Styles (e.g.) Edit APA 5 th. Go to Bibliography>Sort Order click <Other> choose first sort by Reference Type, then Author, Year 12. Online Search Search an online database from within EndNote X2. In the Groups pane on the left, select the connect file you want to use from the favourites list. Click on more to bring up a list of all available connect files. Select the database you want to search from the list. References from an online search are automatically brought to your EndNote library. Note: The Library recommends you use the powerful database search capabilities by searching in the database then exporting selected records to your EndNote Library. 13. Changing fonts from pasted references If you have pasted parts of a reference from another document in a different font to your EndNote Library they will look different in the Preview pane, and your bibliography later. Return to the detailed record view and highlight each reference part, resetting the font to the default of Plain Size 12 point (or whatever you have for your Library). If this has happened over many references you can reset your entire Library using these steps: a. Open Your EndNote Library and change the Output Style to <Refer Export> b. Select All your Library references c. Select FileExport and save to your desktop as a text file AND change the output style to <Refer Export> d. Open a New Library e. Select FileImport. Choose your text file. Choose <Refer/BibIX> as the Import filter option f. Click <Import> g. Change your new Library back to your preferred output style h. You should now have a Library without standard font settings i. You will need to re-save your PDFs and drag them to the new Library records 21
