Using EndNote to search the Library Catalogue

Unfortunately due to the recent upgrade to the Library Catalogue the Online Search option within EndNote is currently not working. We will try to fix this as soon as possible.

• Carry out your search as normal and mark the records that you are interested in, using the tick box on the left
• Click on the eMail/Save option towards the top of the screen
• Under Record format select ISI ResearchSoft Tagged Output Format, then click Go
• Click on Save Selected and save the file as a text file.

Importing into EndNote

• In EndNote click on File > Import...
• Click Choose File... and find the file you have just saved
• Under Import Option choose Other filters... and select RefMan RIS, then click Choose
• Click Import

Your references will be imported into your EndNote library.
