Direct Export

Certain databases contain a special download button that will automatically open up and send your search results directly to EndNote, pick the correct import option, and start the import process automatically. All you need to do is choose the EndNote Library into which the data should be imported. This "direct export" does away with the additional steps of saving the references to a text file, and then importing that file with the appropriate Import Filter . Many online databases, such as EBSCO, ProQuest, Gale, and JSTOR, provide Direct Export of references into EndNote. The Direct Export option requires EndNote to be available on the machine you are using. Here is a list of our databases and their export to EndNote info.

Connection Files and Import Filters

EndNote uses import filters and connection files which are updated independently from EndNote's installed software. If you are having problems using a database in EndNote you may need to install a new filter or connection file. Most files will be available directly from EndNote - Thompson-Reuters ResearchSoft. Sojourner Truth Library will make available a few custom Connection Files also.

To make a connection file work it must be saved to the EndNote Connections folder, In Windows that is usually "C:\Program Files\EndNote X\Connections".

For example:

Click our catalog link below
When prompted what to do with the file choose Open with EndNote
In EndNote go to the File Menu and choose Save As
Browse to "C:\Program Files\EndNote X\Connections" and click the Save button
