To Start Endnote:
Choose START – Programs – Endnote
Endnote Libraries:
In Endnote, a library is a collection of records or references one chooses to store together.
Let’s look at a library.
Choose “Open an existing library” and click on OK. Find Paleo.enl (in the Samples folder in Endnote) and select.
Notice there are three frames: Index list frame – lists all of the references in the library Individual reference frame – gives a summary of the information contained
in the individual record in the selected output style (Show Preview) Groups frame – used to create subgroups within a library.
Double-clicking on any record in the index list will bring up the complete reference.

Customizing the display:
Edit - Preferences - Display Fields allows you to change the fields displayed in the top menu bar of the index fields list.
Edit – Preferences – Libraries allows you to choose which databases you want to automatically open when starting EndNote.
References can be sorted by clicking on the desired field label. The Show Preview frame can be hidden by clicking on Hide Preview at
the bottom of the screen. On the full record screen, empty fields can be hidden by clicking on Hide
Empty Fields at the top of the dialog box Choosing Show All Fields in the output style drop down menu box will
give you a complete reference display
Creating new EndNote Libraries:
Select File - New Type in the name of the library – we will use “arthritis” as our example.
Denise Upton August 2008 4
Manually entering references into a library:
Choose References – New Reference
Note the “Reference Type” drop-down menu box at the top of the dialog box. It is very important that you select the right reference type so that the appropriate fields are available.
Fill the information you have into the appropriate field. If you accidentally start inputting information into the wrong Reference Type, select the correct reference type and the information will move to the appropriate fields in the new reference type.
When you are finished you may choose to Hide Empty Fields to tighten up the display.
Close the reference dialog box to save the record. It will be added to your library.
Important Formatting Tips:
Names – enter one name per line (last name, first name). EndNote will automatically complete names that have previously been entered into a library. If all authors are not known, use et.al. or and others as the last name followed by a comma. For corporate authors, use quotation marks around the corporate name (“Alberta Aboriginal Affairs”).
Year – must be edited with 4 digits Title – do not add a period at the end of the title. Capitalize as it
should appear in the bibliography. Journal – enter the full journal title Pages – omit commas for pages in the thousands Edition – just enter the number “1” etc. Keywords – separate keywords with a ; or a \

Inserting Symbols & Diacritics – Click Start – Programs – Accessories – System Tools – Character Map. Choose Times New Roman for French and German and Symbol for Greek. Click on a character from the map, then choose Select – Copy. Go to your EndNote reference and paste in the character.

NOTE: Be very careful when manually entering references – any mistakes made here will be transferred to the bibliographies you develop!
Inserting References via Online Databases:
Direct Import: OVID example
For our example we will use the OVID database Medline.
Open Internet Explorer – this is the best browser for importing Choose Research Databases – Medicine from the U of C library
homepage. Choose Medline from the list of databases In the search box type Arthritis diet therapy
To complete the Direct Import, choose the following from the Results Manager box:
Results: Choose whichever is appropriate – we will do range 1-50.
Denise Upton August 2008 6
Fields: Choose Complete Reference Result Format: Choose Direct Export At the top of the column, under Actions, choose Save
Choose Export Results to EndNote, Procite or Reference Manager and click on Continue
Choose the EndNote library you want to enter the records into – we will choose Arthritis. Click on Open. The records will be imported.
NOTE: When importing from OVID Global Health a dialog box will appear asking you to choose a filter. Please choose Cab Abstracts (OVIDsp).

Saving a Text File and Using a Filter: PubMed example
Some databases do not have the capability for Direct Export. We will be using PubMed as an example of this type of database.
In Internet Explorer, type www.pubmed.gov into the URL box. Type “Arthritis/diet therapy review 2007” into the search box and click
on GO. Next to the “Display” box, click on the drop down menu and choose
MEDLINE
From the drop down menu at “Send to” choose File and save the file as arthritis.txt on your desktop.
Go into your EndNote program and make sure your Arthritis library is open.
Choose File – Import from the top menu bar.
Browse for your arthritis.txt file, then choose Pubmed (NLM) from the drop down menu beside Import Option. Choose “Import into Duplicates Library” beside “Duplicates”. Click on “Import”.

The records will be imported into your Arthritis library. Any duplicates will be placed in a duplicates database.
Searching PubMed or Library Catalogues through EndNote:
Tools – Online Search – New Search
Choose the database / library you want to search and click on Choose
Type your search terms and select the appropriate field for each term, then click on Search

the “Copy this file to the default folder and create a relative path” box: EndNote makes a copy of the .pdf and places it in the .DATA folder that goes along with the library. This means that a copy travels with the library and can always be accessed.
Saving your Library:
Click on File – Save a Copy. When the dialog box opens, save to your desired drive.
OR Or use Windows Explorer to copy and paste EndNote files to another
location. Be sure to save both the .enl file and the .DATA folder as both are necessary to open the library.
OR Save a compressed library (both the .enl file and .DATA folder in the same
file) by choosing File – Send to – Compressed Library. When the Send to Compressed Library dialog box comes up, select the drive you wish to save to. The file name suffix will be changed to .enlx.
Note: If you save to a USB key you may open the Library and work directly from the key. If you save to a CD or DVD you must copy the files back to your hard drive before you begin working with your library.

Cite While You Write:
– using EndNote to cite references in your paper and create the bibliography
When you install EndNote you should choose to install the link into Microsoft Word. This will install an EndNote toolbar in your Word program. Use this toolbar to insert your references into your paper.

When inserting more than one reference in the same in-text citation, mark the desired references in EndNote, then click on the 4th icon on the EndNote toolbar in Word (Insert Selected Citation). Be sure to go back and deselect the marked citations so they don’t appear next time you use this function.
The citations will appear in the text of the document and will also be added to the bibliography at the end of the paper.
To change the format of your bibliography, choose Format Bibliography
. Select the format of your choice and click on OK.
Other Toolbar functions:

Insert Note – to insert text as a numbered note in the reference list
Edit Library Reference – to edit a reference within your EndNote Library
Unformat Citations – to revert to original code
Remove field codes – to remove coding from documents – Never do this to your original – always make a copy and remove the field codes from the copy. You can’t get them back once you do this!
Export Travelling Library – this will create a new library of all of the references cited in the paper. Great for sharing with colleagues.
