Why bother with im/ex/port?

1. Why bother with im/ex/port? • Much Alt-tab to & fro • Database & Endnote • Much typing • Save for own notes • Tempation to skimp • Sorry later • Computers were meant to save us time!

2. Useful Endnote import filters • Save reference from database • As *.txt file • Alt-tab endnote • File..Import • navigate and click • http://endnote.otago.ac.nz • Jstor • LCoNZ@otago • Proquest 5000 • Proquest dissertations • Te Puna

3. Example: Jstor import filter • http://endnote.otago.ac.nz • Select jstor import filter • Select endnote jstor filter • Print instructions page! • Slightly different each dbase • D’load->endnote filter folder: • C:\Programs\Endnote\Filters

7. Example using filter • Open Endnote • File…Import

11. Exporting directly can be better • From: • Web of Science • Proquest 5000 • Ebsco Megafile 1iere • Tip: • Use database save folder 1st • Save as many as practical • Then export the lot at once

12. Add the lot at once to your folder

14. May want to save for later!

15. Even better: connection files • Familiar endnote interface • Connect to database • In background • Databases: • LCoNZ@otago • Te Puna • Web of Science • Endnote 7 onwards
