EndNote

You can import records directly to EndNote from most structured bibliographic databases. Details of how to import from some of the most commonly used databases are below and the technique can be seen on the Importing to Endnote video below.

It is always best to check your imported records to make sure EndNote has captured everything correctly.

iFind, the Library Catalogue

Google Scholar

You need to change Scholar preferences to see the EndNote option. Click the icon with three bars at the top left of the screen then choose settings. Under Bibliography Manager choose the option Show links to import citations into EndNote. Click Save.

To export a reference

• Carry out your search and click the Import into EndNote link for the reference you want to import.
• Open the downloaded file and details should load into EndNote.

To export multiple references click the star by each record you want to save then click My library at the top of the screen. Select the references from My library then click on the download button. Choose the EndNote option and your references will import into EndNote.

Note that the import will miss some fields, for example, doi and abstract as Google Scholar is not formatted like commercial databases.
