EndNote X7: Getting Started

After you have installed EndNote, you should configure it to do the following:

• Integrate with the USask Library catalogue so that you can quickly and efficiently search the collection, as well as;
• Retrieve full text articles at the click of a button.
• (Optional) Connect with MEDLINE and CINHAL to assist with retrieving citations and full-text articles.

The following boxes will guide you through each of these steps.

1. On the Menu bar, click Edit -> Connection Files -> Open Connection Manager.
2. In the list, scroll down till you find the entry U Saskatchewan. Select this and click the Edit button.
3. In the new window, change the fields so that they resemble this image:
   
   


4. On the left list, click Connection Settings and ensure the information matches the following image:
   
   


5. You're done! The new information should automatically save when you close the windows. EndNote will create a new connection entry called "U Saskatchewan Copy"; ensure this is checked off on the list of connections.

1. On the Menu bar, click Edit -> Preferences. From here, select Find Full Text from the list on the left-hand side.
2. Add the URL & Authentication paths:
   • OpenURL path: https://usask.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/openurl/01USASK_INST/01USASK_INST:01USASK
   • URL: https://cyber.usask.ca/login?url=
3. If you want EndNote to search for full-text when references are imported, tick the appropriate box (see screenshot and note below)
4. Your screen should resemble the one below:
   
   
5. Hit OK. You're done!

**Note: You may want to disable the option to Automatically invoke Find Full Text on newly-imported references if you are working with large numbers of references. Leaving this enabled can put a strain on the software and your internet connection as the program searches for and download hundreds (or thousands!) of full-text articles.
