Customizing Endnote

Find Full Text and OpenURL Link

The Find Full Text tool uses open sources tools and full text sources such a PubMed
Central to automatically find the full text of articles within your bibliography.

You should note that there will be full text articles available to you as an Iowa State
University faculty, staff, or student that will not be retrieved via the Find Full Text tool.

The next choice is to use the OpenURL feature in EndNote which will allow you to link
from an EndNote reference to a complete full-text article owned by the library.

For the OpenURL Link feature:

• You only have to enable the OpenURL feature once.

• These links will only work for ISU and you may be prompted for your Library ID
and Pin# before accessing full text articles.

• Full text article links are available only for articles available through library
subscriptions. If no electronic full text is available, look for a paper copy in ISU
libraries or place an order via interlibrary loan.

Key Information:

• OpenURL Path: http://helena-1.lib.iastate.edu:3210/sfxlcl3

• Authenticate with URL: http://proxy.lib.iastate.edu:2048/login?url=
