Create and Organize Your Own Database

Direct Export
Several online databases allow direct exporting of citations from the database’s interface into EndNote. Details vary for each database. General directions are to select your citations and then click on an Export button. EndNote will launch, and citations will load into your desired EndNote library.
Import Filters
To import citations into EndNote, a filter usually is required. Filters for many databases are included with your EndNote software. Others can be freely downloaded from the EndNote filter website (http://www.endnote.com/support/enfilters.asp). Place the downloaded filter in the “Filters” subfolder of EndNote. The filter maps the information in each downloaded reference to the corresponding fields in EndNote.
Connection Files
Connection Files provide an easy way to import search results into EndNote. The connection file allows EndNote to identify which online database to connect to, where the database is located, and what search options are available for it. Several connection files are included with your EndNote software. Others are also freely available for downloading at the EndNote connection file website (http://www.endnote.com/support/enconnections-terms.asp). EndNote can only connect directly to databases that support the Z39.50 standard. Access to Stanford-licensed databases via the connection files may not work from off-campus, depending upon various factors, such as your ISP, firewalls, the database vendor, etc.

Databases that include Z39.50 access include the Stanford University Libraries catalog (Socrates) and the California Digital Library (formerly MELVYL) catalog.

EndNote Connection File for Socrates
- EndNote X1: Use the connection file included with the EndNote software. For step-by-step directions see Cubberley Library’s EndNote on Mac OS X(https://www.stanford.edu/group/cubberley/services/tutorials/endnote).
- EndNote X and earlier: Use the custom connection file(https://www.stanford.edu/~mjockers/limited/Media/StanfordCatalog.enz). (Stanford only)
