End Note Users Manual
End Note Users Manual
Note to user: These instructions are based on my personal experience using EndNote. Therefore, it includes only the parts I consider immediately useful to you in the iMET program. At the end of these instructions, you will find a list of other resources that you may find useful with specific EndNote topics. I will assist you in any way I can with your bibliographic endeavors during the iMET program, please feel free to ask for help at any time. Joyce Dibble
If you already have installed EndNote, then you may skip the next two screenshots. If not, then go to http://www.endnote.com/endemo.asp Fill in the form completely, then click Submit Information
After you have successfully installed EndNote go to start > All Programs > EndNote > EndNote Program When you open EndNote for the first time, you will see a dialog box titled: Get Started with EndNote X Select: Create a new EndNote library. Then click OK. .
Name your library and then navigate to where you want to save your library. Saving it in the same folder as the EndNote program makes it easy to find.
Open you new library. I named mine iMET10_Research.enl (the .enl extension is added automatically by EndNote it means endnote library) Click on the arrow until you see Select Another Style, and then click on it. The Choose An Output Style dialog box will appear. Scroll until you find APA 5th, click Choose.
You will now see your empty (no references yet!) library. You can add references manually (yuck) by clicking on References > New Reference
If at all possible, let EndNote do the work for you!!! References from some databases can be imported directly into EndNote.
(I like databases that allow direct export to EndNote.)
Try it yourself.
Navigate to the Eric database managed by OCLC First Search Go to: 1. Sacramento State Library > 2. Database & Article Searching > 3. Databases and Periodical Indexes
Search for and locate an article of interest. Select an article from a database and click on Export.
Click Export
The Select a Reference dialog box will open up and it looks in the Endnote folder first, that is why it is easiest to make your library inside the Endnote folder. Select the library
Click Open
