desktop version of EndNote. If you already have a personal account
in Web of Science, this is also your EndNote Web login. You can
also create or connect your EndNote Web account to the desktop in
the future. You do not need to set up an account at this time.
• You can sign up now or later. • To register later, go to
Edit> Preferences>Sync • Click Enable Sync • Use your Web of
Science personal account from TSRI if you have one.
• If you are creating a new account, you will be asked for some
information. • Then click OK.
2. Create a new Library:
• Go to File > New. • In the next window, enter a File name:.

B. Preferences 1. Find Full Text - Important – turn this off
when beginning or importing large numbers of
citations. While this feature seems helpful, it will look to
publishers like we are violating our agreements and doing
systematic downloads of their content.
• Select Find Full Text. • Uncheck the box next to
“Automatically invoke Find Full Text on newly-imported
references”
2. PDF Handling • Select PDF Handling from the left menu • Here
you can select how to name the PDFs added to EndNote • Use Custom
to select up to 3 fields to create the PDF name • Tip - don’t make
the PDF name too long (i.e., don’t use the article title)

3. Set Display Fields • Select Display Fields from the left
menu. • Choose the field displayed from the pull down list for up
to 8 columns displayed. You
may also select [Do not display] to exclude a column.
• You may also change the heading name for the column. The
default is the Generic name for the field selected. You can type in
a heading for a field to be displayed in the main EndNote library
display.

the columns. 4. Read/Unread settings

5. Duplicate record handling • Select Duplicates from the left
menu • Mark the fields to be compared when EndNote looks for
Duplicates
• The fields must match exactly; abbreviations do NOT match full
journal names for duplicate purposes.
• Decide if EndNote should automatically discard duplicates when
searching online from inside of EndNote (see page 10). This does
not apply when searching outside of EndNote.
6. Setting Default Libraries • Select Libraries from the left
menu • Next to the text “When EndNote starts:” the pull down gives
several options
• Set how you want EndNote to handle opening libraries. Note: Be
careful when using
“Open the most recently used library” if you tend to pass a
library back and forth on email, you may not be editing the copy of
the library you think you are!!

to our databases that have connection files: Medline (OVID), Web of
Science (ISI). Or you can search PubMed (NLM) from any computer, as
it is freely available on the Internet.

library menu.
• Or go to Tools > Online Search, highlight the database and
click Choose. • The search box is in the bottom of the temporary
library window. • Select the records, and right click or go to
References. • Select Copy References To and choose the library
(must be open to be listed) or

the results from the
online search.

E. Finding Full Text
1. Set PDF preferences a. PDF attachment preferences: • Go to
Edit > 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 Edit
>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…
• The search will run in the background. • In some cases a URL
will be added to the URL field instead of a PDF.

b. Set SFX as the OpenURL tool: You can set up for 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. • Select Find Full Text from
the left menu. • Check the box next to OpenURL.
• Delete current text in OpenURL Path: box. • Type in:
http://sfxhosted.exlibrisgroup.com/scripps/ • Click Apply.
c. To find full text using the OpenURL Link resolver (SFX): •
Highlight only one reference and right-click or go to References
menu • Select 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 the Library catalog to search for print, or the link to
ILLiad to
order articles we do not own. • See a librarian for more
information.
Select “OpenURL Link”, NOT “Open URL”

F. Exporting references to Word
1. Exporting references to use in Word (biosketch, stand alone
reference list)
• Selected references can be exported from EndNote in a Word
format. • Select the references you want to print:
• To print all references click on the All References group. •
Or click on a Group to export that group. • Or search for certain
references using a keyword, author, keyword. • Or use the 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. Default is where
ever the EndNote program is saved.
• Name the file. • Select Output Style. • Save as type: “Rich
Text Format (*.rtf)” to have a word processing ready formatted
list. • Click Save.
G. 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” (works
if you use Outlook) 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.

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. • Syncing
is improving, so test before using. • Required to sync to iPad
version (can buy in the Apple store, not part of our license).
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 Edit > 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).

H. 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 > Find and
Replace
• 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/Move/Copy 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 to create a separate line.
• Click OK • Read the pop-up window to be sure it is only
editing the records you are showing
• Click OK

I. Using Groups
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 bloss • Set up a search (e.g., author Contains bloss). •
Click on Options.
• Select Convert to Smart Group. • Type in a name for the Smart
Group.
3. Using Group Sets
For an extra level of organization, EndNote X7 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.
