Researching East Asia: Downloading to EN
A Guide to Library Resources


Spring 2009

 

From online databases available from the Libraries Electronic Research Tools page, or from the online version of your class Research Guide which have filters available on EndNote

  • First look at the name of your index/database on the Libraries Indexes page.  Those indexes from which material can be downloaded automatically have Endnote Instuctions listed below the title.
  • Follow the instructions given to run and save search. We recommend you change the name of the file to reflect your topic or resource uses and date searched but you must use the correct file extension (as noted in the directions from the Indexes/Abstracts page; usually .txt .
  • In EndNote, click the "Import" button (look for an arrow pointing down on the toolbar or choose "Import" from the File menu).  Click on "Choose File."  Choose the appropriate file from the desktop or H: drive/Sven, and click "Open."
  • Under the Import option, see if the database you searched is listed on the drop-down menu.  If so, highlight it.  If not, choose "Other /Filters."  Under Other Filters, highlight the correct filter [e.g. Physical Educ Ind (CSA) or BioSci(CSA)] and click "Choose."
  • Under Duplicates, leave it at "Import All" unless you really want the computer to decide which are actually duplicates.  You'll have an option to delete records later if you wish.
  • Under Text Translations, leave at "No Translation."
  • Click "Import."
  • The new items will appear on your screen.  Check several records by double-clicking on each reference to make sure they are what you want and the data is there.  Delete if you wish by going to references -> delete.  If importing from CSA databases, you may wish to erase (or move to a different field) the journal title abbreviations which will appear after the journal title if they came along.  You may also need to change journal title words to the appropriate case (i.e. upper or lower case).
  • When you are ready to accept the list into your full library, go to References and highlight "Show all."
  • Your new references are now incorporated into your library.
