Guide to EndNote

As a student, you have the opportunity to download and install the application. Access via the link below requires login with your FHS account.

Download EndNote

In order for Endnote to be able to access and download full texts to resources that the Anna Lindb Library has subscribed to, you need to make a few settings. See picture below.

1. Go to Edit > Preferences > Find full text
2. In the OpenURL Path field type: https://anna-lindh.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/view/uresolver/46LIBRIS_ALB_INST/openurl?
3. In the URL field, type: https://login.proxy.annalindhbiblioteket.se/login?url=
4. Click Ok.

When you open EndNote for the first time, you will be prompted to create a library. A library is a collection of references and associated PDF files. Follow these steps:

1. Select "Create New Library".
2. Choose a location on your computer where you want to save your library files. It is a good idea to create a special folder for your EndNote library files.

Hint:

• Only work with one library to avoid complications or corrupt files.
  
  
• Libraries can be synced and backed up to the cloud using EndNote's "sync" function (more on this below).
  
  
• Do not store your library on cloud services or USB sticks or the like.

EndNote is structured in three main areas (see figure):

1. Navigation bar (left side): This is where you filter, manage and organize your references. Use the "Groups" feature to create folders for different projects or topics, and consider creating subgroups for better organization. You can also see all the "tags" that you have created and attached to references. You can also access "shared groups", collections of references that are shared by multiple users. You can also access and search journal databases under "online search".

To be able to use EndNote, you need to add references to your library. There are four main methods for importing references to EndNote:

1. By exporting from different databases: In most databases, you can select references and export them directly to EndNote.

In the Anna Lindh Library's catalogue (Primo), for example, you can select one or more references and then click on the three dots at the top of the list of search results and select "Export EndNote Desktop (RIS)". This will download a file containing the selected references, when it is opened, these should be imported into EndNote automatically.

EndNote is fully integrated with MS Word, which simplifies the work of writing references.

• Insert references: In MS Word, click on the EndNote 21 tab and select "Insert Citation". Search for the reference you want in the dialog window and click "Insert". This will add a reference and a bibliography to the end of your document.
  
  
• Edit references: Click on a reference in the document and select "Edit & Manage Citation" to make changes, such as adding page numbers.
  
  
• Change Reference Styles: You can easily change the referencing style (e.g. APA, Harvard) from the EndNote 21 tab, and all references in the document will be reformatted accordingly.
  
  
• Footnotes used: If your reference style uses footnotes, you must first add a blank footnote via the "References" > "Insert Footnote", place the cursor in the footnote, and then insert the reference from the EndNote 21 tab as described above.
  

By using EndNote's "sync" function, you can backup and access your library via EndNote online and on different devices. You can also share groups of credentials between users - perfect if you're collaborating with others! To do this, you need to create an EndNote online account.

Select "Edit" -> "Preferences" -> "Sync" and press "Enable sync". You will now be asked to create an account for EndNote Online. Set up your account with your FHS email (e.g. firstname.lastname@student.fhs.se)

EndNote is set to sync libraries between desktop and online versions every 15 minutes. If you want to force EndNote to sync between the platforms, click "sync" in EndNote Desktop.

Once "sync" is set, you can share groups of references with others. To do this, select and right-click on the group you want to share. Select "Share group". You will then be asked to add email addresses of the people you want to share your group with.

Additional settings that describe permissions for group members can be found in EndNote Online. Remember to sync if the credentials aren't shared directly between the group members.

"Find Full Text" is a feature in EndNote that is used to find and attach PDF files with full text for references. This is dependent on EndNote being connected to the Anna Lindh Library's subscription access to academic databases, books and journals.

To set up Find Full Text, enter references via "Edit" -> "Preferences" -> "Find Full Text", then add the following information:

• Open URL Path: https://anna-lindh.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/view/uresolver/46LIBRIS_ALB_INST/openurl?
• URL: https://login.proxy.annalindhbiblioteket.se/login?url=

By checking the box "automatically invoke find full text on newly-imported references", EndNote will try to find a PDF with full text and attach it to all imported references.
