Importing references from Google Scholar

You can save references directly from your browser into EndNote Basic through the Capture Reference bookmarklet. The Downloads tab in the EndNote Basic page gives full details.

Capture Reference

The Capture Reference bookmarklet scans the bibliographic information presented on a Web page and create a reference that you can save to a new or existing group. If no group is specified, the reference is saved to Unfiled.

For the Capture buttons to work best, you must be in a Capture compatible resource and at the individual item level (not in a list of citations). List of Capture Compatible Sources

Importing references from Worldcat Discovery

  • Once you have found the items you want with your search, you will need to check the box on the left side of the screen for the items you want to export (You can also use the "Select Page" or "Select All" checkboxes at the top/bottom of each page.
  • Next, click the "Export" button at the top/bottom of the page, select "EndNote Citation" and then the "Click to Export" button.
  • You will then get a webpage with text records for the items you selected. You will need to go to "File" and select "Save As." Be sure to save it as a text file (.txt).
  • Then, you will need to navigate to the "Collect" tab in your EndNote Basic account and select "Import References".
  • Choose the file you saved from the catalog. Then select "EndNote Import" for your filter and tell it where in your library to save them.
