Multiple chapters in the same book

If you are reading an edited collection of essays and want to enter references for several different chapters into your EndNote library, you don't have to create a record from scratch for every chapter.

  • Create a record for one chapter, making sure that you choose the reference type Book Section so that you can enter the details of both the individual chapter and the book details.
  • Close the record to save it as normal.
  • Make sure the record is highlighted in the main library window.
  • Press Ctrl C, and then Ctrl V

This will create a duplicate entry in your Library. You can then simply open this record and alter the author and the title of the chapter, without having to enter the full book details again.
