How To Export Records Into EndNote: APU Library Catalog

This guide includes instructions for exporting records into EndNote from the APU library catalog, several APU databases, and Google Scholar. This guide was originally created by Michelle Spomer.

Follow These Instructions:

  • Perform a search in the library catalog.
  • If you're in a title list, select the items that you want to export into EndNote by clicking in the checkbox to the left of the item title (see graphic below). When you've finished selecting items, click on the Add Marked to Bag link near the top of the results list.

  • If you're looking at an individual record, click on the Add to Bag link above the search box (see graphic below).

  • When you're finished adding items to your bag, click on the View Bag icon near the top of the page. Select the items you want to export, and click the Export Saved link above the list.
  • Put a dot next to End-Note/RefWorks in the Format of List section, and next to Local Disk in the Send List To section (see graphic below).

  • In the Your List of Saved Records section, check the items you want to export (again).
  • Click the Submit button.
  • Click Save, choose the location and name (if desired) of your export file, and click Save again.
  • Open the EndNote library where you would like your records to be located (open a specific library, not just the EndNote program).
  • Click on the File menu and choose Import
  • Click on Choose File, and locate your export file.
  • Make sure the rest of the options in the Import dialog box look like the graphic below.
  • Click the Import button. The reference(s) should show up in your EndNote library.
