EndNote @ CSU - Direct export into EndNote

EndNote enables you to export the results of a database search from some database services directly into an existing EndNote library.

There are some variations in the formatting of records within individual databases. The relevant filter will transfer most records correctly, but may fail to separate citation details for some records, transfer data in incorrect formats (eg. capitalise Author names or Journal titles), or import the record into the wrong reference type. You should always check records transferred to EndNote and edit them as required.

Exported records will appear in a new list in your EndNote library.
