Configuring your EndNote Library to work with UC-eLinks & Google Scholar

November 22nd, 2011 by Bernadette Swanson
Configure Google Scholar Preferences to work with UC-eLinks

Google Scholar works with University of California's UC-eLinks!

Options for your EndNote Library

Create a link to the article with DOI number = http://dx.doi.org/(input DOI number here)

This will create a link to the article: e.g.:

http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1472-6920-9-53

The link will work for open access articles, or those to which you or your institution has authorization.

Configure UC-eLinks within Endnote

To use UC-eLinks from within EndNote, make the following modification. Open EndNote:

On the top menu, select Edit | Preferences | Find Full Text (tab)

In the OpenURL Path text box, type in this URL: http://ucelinks.cdlib.org:8888/sfx_local and click OK.

In the URLs & Links (tab) | OpenURL argument:

Replace WoS with the term EndNote as shown below. Then click Apply.

There can be no spaces in the OpenURL argument:

?sid=ISI:EndNote&aufirst=AUFIRST&aulast=AULAST&issn=ISSN&isbn=ISBN&atitle=ATITLE &title=TITLE&volume=VOLUME&issue=ISSUE&date=DATE&spage=SPAGE&epage=EPAGE

How to use the UC-eLinks feature from within your EndNote Library:

In your EndNote Library, highlight a citation. Then, on the top menu select:

References |  URL | OpenURL Link (shortcut= ctrl-G)

Configure Google Scholar Preferences to work with UC-eLinks & EndNote

To do so: Access Google Scholar at http://scholar.google.com/scholar_preferences

Or locate the Scholar Preferences by clicking on the wrench icon at the top right side of screen.

Scroll down to Library Links.

WorldCat (a global catalog of library collections) is selected by default.

  1. University of California Davis | select checkbox to activate it
  2. California Digital Library | select checkbox to activate it

Scroll down to Bibliography Manager.

  • Select the option: “Show links to import citations into” and select EndNote from the drop down menu.
  • Click on the Save Preferences button at the bottom right.

EndNote X5: downloading the free licensed version for UC Davis students, staff & faculty

October 11th, 2011 by Bernadette Swanson

My UC Davis Site

Watch all or part of the video on YouTube

Watch the video onYouTube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySv6zjRYnnA

For Jeff Magnin’s UWP 104 Class, working on an annotated bibliography with the help of EndNote.
Downloading your free licensed version of EndNote X5 from the MyUCDavis website:
The video will also show an example of seeking a citation style that was not available with the download, namely CSE/CBE.
In the case when you don’t find your preferred Output Style, just go to the Endnote.com website and seach for your required Output Style. Download the files and put them into the Styles folders within your EndNote X5 folder. We walk through the process.

Earlier, I sent 21 citations from the Web of Science database to my EndNote Desktop software.
You may also export your citations as text files from databases that do not have the direct EndNote or EndNote Web support. You can easily import these text files in Endnote format into your EndNote database directly from the EndNote file menu. All of these citations can be reformatted into our preferred format, such as CSE/CBE that is being used in the UWP 104 class.
You will be able to organize your citations and place into their own group folders. You’ll be able to sync your EndNote Desktop version with your EndNote Web account and work with either of your EndNote libraries (desktop or Web) when writing your paper using a popular wordprocessing software such as Word or similar. You’ll find the EndNote toolbar available in your Word software. If you do not see it, take a look in the tools menu.
For further help, be sure to check out the UC Davis Endnote website. We offer classes and ongoing support for EndNote and EndNote Web.

Shields Library Instruction website:
http://www.lib.ucdavis.edu/dept/instruc/research/endnote/
Download your free version of the licensed Endnote X5 using your UC Davis ID and kerberos pass phrase or password.
Check out the EndNote.com vendor’s website for ongoing updated tutorials or to request or download specific output styles that do not ship with the EndNote Software. There are over 5000 styles available at their website:
http://www.endnote.com.
Be sure to create your EndNote web account:

Are your Google Scholar Preferences set to work with UC-eLinks & EndNote?

August 11th, 2011 by Bernadette Swanson

We’re looking for a 1996 journal article “Blood pressure and flow rate in the giraffe jugular vein.”
So, if you are using Google Scholar to quickly locate an article, make sure you edit your Scholar Preferences to work with UC-eLinks. Through the UC-eLinks in Google Scholar, you will then be able to to reach full text of any articles in library licensed online journals, or locate the call number (shelf location & library) for the print subscription via links to the library catalogs. If we don’t have a license or subscription for the journal, UC Davis students, staff and faculty can request the article from another library via the the request link in the UC-eLinks window.
Work along with the video to make sure your Scholar Preferences are setup for use with both UC-eLinks, along with bibliographic management software such as EndNote, Refworks, Mendeley, etc. The article could also be found via the UC-eLinks in PubMed. Be sure to use the link to PubMed via the Library’s website and login via the VPN if you are off campus.

Note: To download EndNote or take an introductory class in using EndNote for bibliographic management, writing course papers, articles or your thesis, see the EndNote page on the Library Website.

      Endnote: Looking for an ‘Output Style’ for a Journal that’s not in Endnote X3?

      March 3rd, 2010 by Bernadette Swanson

      If you are looking for an ‘output style’ for a journal that isn’t loaded in the collection of styles that shipped with EndNote X3, you have a couple of choices – -  your best bet, and to keep X3 quick, lean and mean, is to download  individual output styles as you need them.  The steps for locating the specific output style, downloading and copying it into the appropriate folder within your EndNote application are shown here in the YouTube video.   If you prefer to take a quick glance at the text instructions…  they’ll be included at the bottom of this blog post.

      Downloading an Output Style that didn’t ship with Endnote X3

      Watch video on YouTube:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqqG5y7TxSI

      Downloading the Output Style for Journal of Medical Entomology

      Endnote Website: Locating & downloading the Output Style

      • Open the EndNote website: http://www.endnote.com
      • Click on ‘Support and Services’ tab at top of EndNote page
      • Click on the ‘Output Styles’ on the left navigation bar (green area)
      • Read… then click the Accept button at bottom of page
        You will be taken to the following page: http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyles.asp
      • Look for the search box…  (It’s located just below the two green tabs ‘Style finder’ and ‘Sorting Options’)
      • Type in your journal name,  e.g.: Journal of Medical Entomology
      • Click the Find Styles button to begin the search
      • Once you have located the output style for your specific journal
      • Click the ‘download’ link (or right-click and select a download option if you’re on a mac).

      Copy the Output Style (.ens file) to the appropriate folder on your computer:

      • Once the file or zip file(s) are downloaded to your desktop or other location on your computer… copy the file(s) to the appropriate folder in your EndNote program directory.

      For PC users:

      • Locate your downloaded file and then copy the file into the appropriate folder within your EndNote application
      • On Windows, it is usually located in Windows—C:\Program Files\EndNote\Styles

      For Mac or Mac OS X+ users:

      • Note: files on macs often download to the Downloads folder, but you can change the download location, if you wish, as you’re downloading it.  I always choose the desktop as it’s easier to locate… assuming my desktop is not a mess.
      • On your hard drive (HD): locate the applications folder: Applications: EndNote: Styles
      • Copy the downloaded file  into the Styles folder.

      Note: Use the edit menu or right-click to copy and paste the file into the appropriate folder within your Endnote application.

      .

      .

      Alternative: Downloading the Modified EndNote X3 with the full collection of 3,600 Output Styles:

      You can download the entire collection of output styles containing more than 3,600 bibliographic styles for a wide variety of disciplines.  As of mid-February 2010, the modified version of Endnote X3 was made available from the  MyUCDavis website containing all 3,600 output styles.  Use your Kerberos username and password to login to MyUCDavis.  EndNote can be found under UCD Resources | Software | Library.

      UC Davis has a campus-wide license allowing all current UC Davis students, faculty and staff to install and use EndNote on computers at work and at home. Another option is to download the zip file of all output styles available from the EndNote website: available for EndNote version 8 and up.

      Download a licensed version of Endnote from MyUCDavis

      Endnote – selecting what you want in your library/database

      February 4th, 2010 by Kenneth Firestein

      If you choose to search Pubmed or other databases directly from Endnote you may get search retrievals of large/unknown size. Is there a way to easily select from the massive search results while working in Endnote? Yes.

      I would recommend selecting specific citations from the search results using one of these three methods. This way, you won’t be burdened with keeping and wading through the massive set of results in your working Endnote library or libraries. The three methods I’ll describe are: (1)grab, drag & drop; (2)cut & paste; or (3)two libraries.

      I have listed them in order I prefer.

      METHOD ONE– Grab, drag, and drop

      Open your Working library/database
      Open a library/database you might call: SEARCH
      Adjust the size of the two library/databases so you can see both on the screen
      IF you use Groups and want to add to specific groups in your working library/database click one of your groups to see records from only that group (this step is necessary for putting new citations in ANY Group you have)
      Go into the database called: SEARCH
      In the SEARCH library/database do your search and retrieval of records
      Click on any of the records in the SEARCH library/database you want to move to your Working library/database and
      Drag the record(s) to the Group Name in the column on the left where they are listed. (NOTE – when you drop the records onto the Group you will see the number of items in that Group increase immediately. The All References number will increase later. Do not worry.)
      Repeat as necessary

      METHOD TWO – cut and paste

      Open your Working library/database
      Open a library/database you might call: SEARCH
      Adjust the size of the two library/databases so you can see both on the screen
      Go into the library/database called: SEARCH
      In the SEARCH library/database do your search and retrieval of records
      Click on any of the records in the SEARCH library/database you want to move to your Working library/database
      copy (right click or use pull-down menu) the record
      Click on the Working library/database
      click on the Group (or All References) in the Working library/database into which you want to add the records
      paste into the group (or All References) of the Working library/database
      Repeat as necessary

      METHOD THREE:

      Use two libraries/databases. While the methods above also use two libraries/databases this method uses them a bit separately and distinctly.
      Think of one library/database as a temporary holding library/database.
      In this first library/database use the GROUPS function with a group you might call: GOODGROUP.
      Do your searches and put into GOODGROUP the citations you want.
      In other words use GOODGROUP as if it is the permanent library/database save area that you may have moved things to in the older versions of Endnote.
      THEN – copy all records from GOODGROUP in a second library/database\
      The second library/database will be your real, permanent working library/database (you may have several “real” library/databases).
      Finally, empty the first library/database or at least GOODGROUP so you can use it again and again as the conduit to the second real permanent working library/database
