Checking access to full text journal articles

It is possible to set up EndNote so that it can check if we have access to a journal article electronically. To turn this function on, follow the steps below.

• Within EndNote go to Edit > Preferences…
• From the menu on the left select URLs & Links
• Tick the box next to Enable OpenURL
• In the box OpenUrl Path replace the existing URL with http://193.61.107.24:9003/coventry
• Click OK
• Select one of the journal references in your library by clicking on it
• Right click and from the menu select URL > OpenURL Link
• An SFX window will open to tell you if we have access to the article electronically. If we do, simply follow the links in the usual way.
  

Note: This feature will only check electronic journals, it will not check whether books or printed journals are available.

Linking files to your references

It is now easier to link files to your references. Rather than having to use the menu commands you can now simply drag and drop the file onto the reference in your list of references.

Remember: you can link to Word and Excel files, as well as PDF documents.
