About EndNote

Use EndNote to:

• import citations from online databases using import filters
• retrieve references from some online services directly into EndNote via connection files
• store, manage, and search your personal library of citations
• insert citations into word processing documents and then compile a bibliography for those in-text citations in any format

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 EndNote filter websites. 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.

  EndNote Filters for Stanford University Libraries Electronic Resources

  • For LANL databases (http://library.lanl.gov/filters/), including ArXiv, Biosis, Engineering Index, Inspec, SciSearch, Social Science Citation Index, Arts & Humanities Citation Index
  • For SciFinder Scholar 2004 (http://www.cas.org/Support/scifinder2004/bibapps/download.html
  • For all other database filters (http://www.endnote.com/support/enfilters.asp), including Georef, ASFA, WorldCat, Eric, and PsycInfo
• 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 EndNote connection file websites. 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.
