The tabs below provide step-by-step instructions for adding individual and bulk records to EndNote from some of our most popular database platforms. Read General Tips for more information on where to find instructions for your particular database, different browsers and computer software.
Many databases share a common search interface or platform as part of large database collections. Examples of such collections are ProQuest, EBSCO host, OVID, EI Engineering Village and Informit. If a particular database is not showing in the above tabs, check if it is part of such a collection. If so, follow the instructions in the tab for that collection. If not, contact your librarian for advice.
The majority of databases allow records to be exported to EndNote using the direct export function, which involves selecting and sending records to EndNote as you are searching a database. The above tabs explain this procedure for different databases.
Although connection files and import filters are included in the customised installation of EndNote at Monash, direct export from a database via its “native” interface provides the most effective and comprehensive results and we highly recommend this method.
