Academic Search Premier (EBSCO) Direct Export update 4/06/04 Alert--Direct Export is now available. However, each record must be changed manually from Generic reference type to Journal Article, Newspaper Article, etc. in Endnote so that it will style correctly in APA5, etc. (although one could "go with the majority rule* and use global edit to change all to journal article and then tweak the few that are more aptly 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. Click Preferences and increase your maximum display to 50. Click Advanced Search tab to craft your search strategy. Add your search Results to the folder, either one by one or Add all. Click "Folder has items" icon. From your Academic Search Premier search results folder view, click Save to Disk. In the Save Manager, click tab Bibliographic Manager.

AGRICOLA (EBSCO) Direct Export updated 4/6/04 ALERT -- Direct Export is now available but you'll have to tweak books and book chapters. I couldn't write a filter that did a better job with book chapters ; since you'd still have to tweak those records, Direct Export will be the most efficient way to transfer all Agricola references. You'll have to change the Book and Book Chapters from Generic to the correct reference type and make sure the bibliographic data is in the correct field. ALERT: 9/30/04 EN7 and earlier versions have reference type Generic assigned to bundles of 2-100; reference 1 is assigned the correct Reference Type. APA5th and other styles cannot style Generic records so reference type will have to be changed until the problem is resolved. Direct Export assigns correct reference type for the time being only with EN8! Click Preferences and increase your maximum display to 50. Click Advanced Search tab to craft your search strategy. Add your search Results to the folder, either one by one or Add All. Click "Folder has items" icon. From your Agricola search results folder view, click Save to Disk In the Save Manager, click tab Bibliographic Manager. Direct Export to software and click Save. When your Endnote's Select a Reference Library window pops up, highlight the library, click Open and your Agricola references will transfer. Remember to locate book records and change Generic to Book or Book Section as appropriate so they will style correctly.

L'Année Philologique includes minimal citations for offprints (tiré-à-part) that appear to be journal articles reprinted in larger collections. This type of citation is assigned to the EndNote "Book Section" reference type. 2. Journal titles in L'Année Philologique citations are generally abbreviated; e.g. BICR, CArch, JAOS, etc. Custom filter courtesy of Emory University Library

Save as a .txt file. Import into Endnote with Endnote Import filter or Refer/BibX filter. Big problem with this database/filter: There is nothing to distinguish a book from a journal article. Both use Citation for the data field, but I can't Parse the field for *both* formats if the reference format/document type is not included. The filter uses Journal Article as the default (since the majority of references are articles), and you'll have to review each record for book chapters, change Reference Type at the top of the record to Book Section, and cut/paste the data from the Journal field (will become Book Title field) into City, Publisher, chapter title and page numbers.

CABDirect (formerly CAB Abstracts --Commonwealth Agricultural Bureaux) Use Export (but it's a little different than other Exports!) Perform your search in CABDirect. On right, click Records and increase the display from 25 to 100 (maximum number of records you can Export in one bundle) On bottom of screen click Mark All, which will mark all 100. Choose Full Record and on right, click Export in Endnote format. Save to your desktop (you'll notice this is a different file type -- an Endnote Import file and it has a different extension .enw) There's a variation on the transfer from your desktop into Endnote; just double click on the file and it will open Endnote and ask you to select what library you want the references in and Voilà there they are! Alert: there are some bugs with the way Reference Types are assigned in this new environment in CABDirect. Reports are typically assigned Conference Proceedings instead of Report. And there are a couple of other snags, so some Endnote records from CAB may need tweaking. Probably the journal articles are OK, although I saw one Report that was mistakenly assigned Journal Article reference type. Endnote staff is going to work with CAB to create a better transfer of data.

This custom filter corrects most of the wrong field assigns of Generic. Save the Results to your computer as a text file, and mport with this filter. Caveat: this filter is not perfect either! Books and book chapters will probably need the most tweaking. All the data is in Book Title so you can cut/paste into appropriate nearby fields... Big omission in the database: no pages for Chapters in Books!! You'll have to insert them after you read the chapter

Exceptional Child Educational Resources (Silverplatter) Alert: This database ceased with the last update October 2004. However we will continue to have access to the records through August 2006. Download Connection Use custom connect to database note: I've made two connection files, one with journal article as default and the other with report as default. Caveats: (unfortunately, too many) Because this database goes back to the late '60s, some records do not have a Document Type assigned. The default document type for one file is Journal Article (because of the preponderance of that type), so a few oldies which are books or reports will require you change the Reference Type from Journal Article to their correct Type. Look for additional information in the Notes field that you can cut/paste into the Publisher/Institution field. If you don't find anything there, you may need to search EXER with your web browser to bring in the complete data for some of the records which do not match the default type. Some records may have et al in the Author field and this will not assist you when you write and cite. You'll have to look that reference up in another database like ERIC, Education Abstracts, etc. and to find the complete bibliographic information.

In IE browser, click ctrl-A (Select All) to highlight the 50.Click ctrl-C to copy the highlighted records. Open Word or Notepad and click ctrl-V to paste. Save as a .txt file. Import into your Endnote library with the generic Endnote Import filter. Unfortunately, no keywords or abstract accompanies these citations so you may want to add your own keywords to enhance retrieval. At the very least, add your search term(s) in the Keywords field if title doesn't contain the term(s). I'll see if I can create a better filter.

Medline at NLM (PubMed at Natl Library of Medicine) Connect with PubMed function only supported in Endnote 6 and Endnote 7. Due to numerous changes at the National Library of Medicine, ISI decided not to support earlier versions of Endnote with a Connect patch to accommodate these changes. Endnote 5 and earlier versions should Direct Export Medline records from OCLC FirstSearch in bundles of 100 (see Medline at OCLC FirstSearch below)

Medline at OCLC FirstSearch Download filter Before you search, click Options; maximize list display to 100; click Set. Choose Advanced Search to get drop-down menus for specific tags to focus your search topics. Click the Export icon to send 100 records (default) or only your marked records to Endnote via quick Export screen. Click the Export button and specify the EN library and the filter to use. Voilà, the 100 records go into Endnote. To proceed to the next 100 (101-200) click Back and then at Results click the Forward arrow. When 101-200 display, click Export, etc. Note: you cannot retain marked records from one search and then perform another search and export the results of the two searches together. You should Export all or selected records in bundles of no more than 100 for one search, and then perform your next search and Export those records.

MLA Bibliography (EBSCO) Direct Export update 4/06/04 ALERT--Direct Export has a few remaining problems with data about Books and Book Sections transferring correctly. You should delete (ed.) in the Editor field as MLA style will insert this information as appropriate. And move Introduction information into Notes. More on problems.. ALERT: 9/30/04 EN7 and earlier versions have reference type Generic assigned to bundles of 2-100; reference 1 is assigned the correct Reference Type. APA5th and other styles cannot style Generic records so reference type will have to be changed until the problem is resolved. Direct Export assigns correct reference type for the time being only with EN8! Click Preferences and increase your maximum display to 50. Click Advanced Search tab to craft your search strategy. Add your search Results to the folder, either one by one or Add all. Click "Folder has items" icon. From your MLA Bibliography search results folder view, click Save to Disk. In the Save Manager, click tab Bibliographic Manager. Direct Export to software and click Save. When Endnote's Select a Reference Library window appears, highlight the library, click Open and your references will transfer. I recommend you use the EBSCO MLA entries for dissertations *only* as interim records. Once you know about a dissertation it is better to import the dissertation record from Dissertation Abstracts and substitute it for the Endnote record you created from MLA-EBSCO.

Your web browser will ask you where to save the file. If your web browser gives you the option to save in different file formats, be sure to save as a "Text Only" (*.txt) file. An occasional journal article may stash Issue in Volume and year in Pages so you'll have to cut/paste the data correctly. Books and book chapters may need a little tweaking since all the data is plopped into SO: field and inconsistent punctuation is used to separate elements. So you might have to cut/paste editors from Endnote City field into Endnote Editor field. However, no data should be missing. Dissertations will primarily be from Dissertation Abstracts and so you might get a better entry by importing from online DA instead and substituting for the WWPSA records.
