How to import references from secondary sources (bibliographies, catalogues, internet) with importfilters in EndNote

ASSIGNMENT:

• Make a selection of records in the bibliographic source of your choice (Psycinfo, Medline or Online Contents)

• Save a (sub)set (download) of this selection on your I: drive (or sent this download to an e-mail address)

• Import data into EndNote by using the correct importfilter

OBJECTIVES:

• Get experienced in making correct downloads (e.g.: save "Complete records") from your bibliographic sources

• Make a proper use of EndNote importfilters

• Understand very well that the "garbage-in is garbage-out" principle applies to this procedure in particular

PROCEDURE:

1. Start the bibliographic source of your choice from the University Library homepage (section "Catalogues and Information Resources", subsection "UL information resources", Press "Search" button and select the source of your choice)

2. Create a set of records

3. Press the "Save" or "Send" button (in webspirs a floppy or mail icon respectively)

4. Take care: right settlements should be chosen!

   1. Settlements for WebSPIRS downloads (Medline, PsycInfo, EMBASE, IFLP etc.)

   2. Settlements for OnLine Contents (OLC) downloads 

   3. Settlements for University Library Catalogue (Online Public Catalogue, OPC) downloads

5. Save the download on your I: drive

6. In EndNote choose File menu Import

   1. Choose File: Select the download file that must be imported form your I:drive

   2. Import Option: select "other filters", select the matching importfilter (Information Provider is university library Maastricht) to your download

7. Click the import button

8. Directly after import EndNote only shows the records that have just been imported, so if things went wrong you can delete the records easily without damaging your original database
