EBSCOHost databases

4/02/04 - EBSCO has corrected many of the problems created by Direct Export. All problems with co-author punctuation for journal articles have been corrected (Hurray!!)

For those databases with continuing styling problems due to Generic reference type, you will have to change each Endnote record manually to the appropriate reference type. Specific information follows.

• Academic Search Premier - 4/02/04 - Direct Export creates a Generic Reference Type record in Endnote. The Generic type *cannot* style in APA5 correctly. One must change reference type to journal article, newspaper article, etc.. Also on older ASP records, the End page of the article does not appear in the Endnote Pages field. You may be able to find the total number of pages in the Endnote Notes field (i.e., 2p., 5p., etc.) or you may need to go back to ASP in your browser and find reference again and see the End page.
• AGRICOLA - 4/02/04 - Journal articles seem correct. However, book and book sections records are generic so reference type must be changed manually from Generic to Book or Book Section to style correctly. And after the reference type change you may have to cut/paste some of the bibliographic information.
• Business Source Premier - 4/02/04 - A Generic Reference Type is assigned in Endnote. The Generic type *cannot* style in APA5 correctly which is one of the 3 top styles at UGA. Change each Reference Type to Journal Article, Newspaper article, etc. Also on some records, the End page of the article does not appear in the Endnote Pages field. You may be able to find the total number of pages in the Endnote Notes field (i.e., 2p., 5p., etc.) or you may need to go back to BSP in your browser and find the reference again to see the End page.
• CINAHL - 4/02/04 - Use Direct Export
• ECONLIT - 4/02/04 - Use Direct Export.
• ERIC (in EBSCO only) - 4/02/04 - ED reports, called documents in ERIC database, are Direct Exported as Journal Article reference types, instead of as Report reference type. So no Report will style correctly without being changed manually in Endnote. I recommend searching ERIC in OCLC FirstSearch or Cambridge Scientific instead of EBSCO while this problem exists. This is not an ERIC problem but an EBSCO-Endnote interface problem.
• MLA Bibliography - 4/02/04 - Book and book chapter data will have to be tweaked...the book chapter includes the parenthetical info about editor or foreword which is unnecessary and will cause styling errors. In fact, I think a foreword contributor should be in Notes only, not the Editor field as the DE transfer assigns it. Anyway, until EBSCO improves this, you should delete (ed.) in the Editor field as MLA style will insert this as appropriate. And move Introduction information into Notes.
• Professional Development Collection - 4/02/04 - Direct Export uses Generic Reference Type record for each record transferred to Endnote. The Generic type *cannot* style in APA5 correctly which is one of the most popular styles at UGA. Each DE record should be changed to appropriate reference type, such as Journal Article, Book Chapter, etc.
• Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection - 4/02/04-Direct Export uses Generic Reference Type for each record transferred to Endnote. The Generic type *cannot* style in APA5 correctly which is one of the most popular styles at UGA. Each DE record should be changed to appropriate reference type, such as Journal Article, Book Chapter, etc.
• PsycINFO - 4/02/04 - All data seems to transfer correctly now, so use Direct Export.
• Sociological Collection - 4/02/04 - Direct Export uses Generic Reference Type for every record. The Generic type *cannot* style in APA5 correctly which is one of the 3 top styles at UGA. Each record Direct Exported should be changed to Journal Article, etc.

NISC/Biblioline databases

The Direct Export function in most of the following databases creates Generic Endnote records which are not pretty in APA5 and each record needs to be changed to Journal article, book chapter, etc. to style correctly. That's why I made filters upon request for some of the following so you can download your search results instead of Direct Export. Let me know if you need one I haven't created.

• Child Abuse, Child Welfare & Adoption Database - Choose the Full Record output style and save your results as a txt file, instead of exporting. Use the custom filter to Import so you don't have to fool with Generic Endnote records. However, for books and book chapters you'll have to do major cut/paste -- I had to dump all that important data into Book Title field so at least it's close to the fields you'll be cutting/pasting into. Chapter pagination is not anywhere in the database record so it doesn't import into Endnote! I'll try to write NISC and see if they stashed it somewhere else.
• Family & Society Studies Worldwide - I'll have to write a filter for this because all records Export as Generic and have way too many data fields to correct.
• Music Catalog [U.S. Library of Congress, 1960s - 2002]
• RILM Abstracts of Music Literature (1967 - Present)
• RIPM: Retrospective Index to Music Periodicals
• RISM: International Inventory of Musical Sources after 1600
• Wildlife & Ecology Studies Worldwide - Choose Full Record output style in your results. Click Save as a txt file. Import with the custom filter. Major cut/paste will be necessary for book and book sections. In the former, the data should be in the Notes field. For book chapters, the data will appear in the Book Title field.
• Women's Studies International
