Endnote

EndNote Click is a web browser extension from Clarivate Analytics, the producers of Web of Science and EndNote, that provides single click access to the Library's content from Google Scholar, Web of Science, PubMed, publisher websites, and Wikipedia. EndNote Click can be used from on- or off campus, and currently works with the Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Opera web browsers.

PDF Viewer Panel

1. Create a new folder on desktop
2. In EndNote, go to Edit>Preferences
3. Select PDF Handling and Enable automatic importing

1. In the EndNote toolbar at the top, go to File>Import>Folder

2. Select "Choose" to locate the folder on your computer. Select the "Import" button.

3. PDF files are imported into EndNote Library. Citation data is added if it could be located. To add citation data, click on an entry and use the Reference tab under the citation.

• What is Find Full Text?
  • EndNote uses data stored in your references to search the Web for the corresponding full text file as a PDF or URL.  Once found, the file is automatically downloaded and attached to the appropriate reference.

It is possible to have EndNote retrieve PDFs of your references, if they are available in USD's databases. 

(Note: it is preferable to save PDFs to a folder and then upload using the process in the "Attaching Files" video on this page. Also see the videos for Importing PDFs from your desktop, and setting an auto import PDF folder above.)

1. In the EndNote program, choose Edit > Preferences. Click "Find Full Text" on the left pane, and add the following information:

• Copy and paste the following text into the appropriate field:
  • OpenURL Path: 204.52.252.224:9991
  • Authenticate with: https://usd.idm.oclc.org/login?url=
• Verify that the information in the dialog box matches the box picture below.
• Click the Apply button.  Then, click OK.

2. In EndNote, right-click on the title of the reference to which you wish to attach a PDF, and choose "find full text > Authenticate," and this window will pop up; add your USD login information and click: "Go to database":

3. This window will open; just click "done" in the lower right:

4. Once again, right-click on the title of the article, and choose "FindFfull Text" > "Find Full Text."

The program will search USD's databases for a PDF of that article (doesn't seem to work with JSTOR). 

If the PDF is found, the "ticker" in the lower right pane will indicate that, and the PDF will "magically" appear in the lower pane:

Link to PDFs

When linking to PDFs or other file types, you can either choose to link out to that file or to insert a copy of the file within your EndNote Library Data/PDF folder. Linking out would oblige you to copy all related files when moving your EndNote library to another computer. Inserting a copy of the file within EndNote means that all linked PDFs travel with your EndNote library when the library and associated Data folder are moved from computer to computer.

Setting File Attachment preferences

1. Click Edit, then click Preferences.
2. Click URLS & Links on the left menu.
3. Check Copy new file attachments to the default file attachment folder and create a relative link if you wish to insert a copy of the file within your EndNote Library Data/PDF folder.

Linking a File to the File Attachment Field

1. Select a reference in the Library window or open the reference.
2. From the References menu, choose File Attachment, then clickAttach File.
3. Select a file to link to the selected (or open) reference. 
   Note the check box along the bottom of the window labeled Copy this file to the default file attachment folder and create a relative link. This gives you the option to:
   • Select the check box to copy the original PDF file and place the copy in the Data\PDF folder that is part of your EndNote library, or
   • Deselect the check box to always have EndNote look in the original location for the inserted file.
4. Click Open.

EndNote will display an icon indicating the type of file inserted. You can insert approximately 45 files into the same File Attachments field.

Alternatively, drag and drop the file onto the reference in either the Library window or the Reference window. Whether the file is saved with the database or is linked with an absolute path is determined by the file attachment preference setting.
