Article databases have improved their direct exporting features to facilitate direct export from the source towards your EndNote Library. This is the easiest and recommended way to add references to your account. The steps detailed below will refer to direct exporting whenever possible and apply only to the Internet Explorer web browser.

In addition to direct exporting you can also add references by using connection files or import filters:

EndNote "connection files" provide access to online databases and library catalogues so that you can search them from within the EndNote program. Each online catalog or database requires its unique connection file. These files have an ".enz" extension, please contact us if you have a question about a connection file.

EndNote "import filters" provide a way to import references in text format into your EndNote library. Each import filter is designed to import references downloaded from a specific database. These files have an ".enf" extension, please refer to the EndNote manual if you have a question about an import filter.

Contact the Library if you have any questions using EndNote.
