Library Endnote connection files

Go directly to the connection files table 
Go back to the EndNote start page

INTRODUCTION
Normally one searches bibliographies (e.g. PubMed, PsycInfo) and catalogues and import downloads from these using the specific import filters. For some reasons it might be convenient to use the endnote search engine itself as search engine for (remote) databases as described. This functionality comes with the so-called "connection-files" in endnote. For the University Library situation the "library catalogue connection file" may be of special interest to our clients (see lower on this page)

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

• Save the connection of your choice from the table below in your \endnote\connections directory

• Mark the connection files of your choice: since in Endnote4 ALL available connection files are in the endnote\connections directory (not divided in subdirectories anymore) you should MARK the connection files of their choice in the so-called Connection manager (menu File / Connection files / Open Connection Manager). To select  (and easily mark) the connection files provided by us in Endnote4 click on the "Information Provider" column in the Connection Manager and scroll to "university library Maastricht" in this column to find our connection files grouped together. Marked connection files will pop-up immediately if one selects the "Connect" option in the file menu. Unmarked connection files are more or less hidden

• To save the separate connection file(s) from the table beneath to your \endnote\connections directory just click on the connection files(s) of your choice in the Endnote connection files column in the table below. Take care the connection files is saved under its correct connection-name
