EndNote have released a new version. It is called Version X1
We are currently not planning to make this available on the network across campus or via RAS at this time. However we are interested in some of the extra functionality it brings therefore if any further developments occur we will keep you posted.

According to ISS, anyone who bought Version X from Information Systems & Services will only qualify for a free upgrade if Version X was purchased within a month of the release of the new version otherwise they need to buy a new licence. However we are not currently supporting X1, therefore it is recommended not to upgrade at this time. If anyone who has purchased their own copy of X and would like the latest version please visit ISS in Claremont Tower for further information.

Podcasts for EndNote

We were recommended a URL which includes some podcasts for EndNote. I have listened to both of them featured on the Comupting and Information Services at Texas A & M University. There maybe some scope for us to do something similiar in the future, so would welcome any thoughts from users of EndNote as to whether they think it will be worthwhile.

The beginning of the podcasts refer specifically to how to access EndNote on the desktop at Texas so you may want to skip past that part, but the rest seems useful.

I have just discovered another blog dedicated solely to EndNote. This is available from the University of Queensland in Australia. It looks like it has some useful links and information regarding EndNote, so it might be worth a look.

If you discover any other useful blogs for EndNote please let us know and we will add them to our resources.

Harvard at Newcastle Style

Posted on by

Although Endnote comes with a large selection of styles, we have amended the Harvard version to suit our needs and called it “Harvard at Newcastle”. There is no official standard version of the Harvard style, therefore we have used the “Cite them right: referencing made easy” by Richard Pears and Graham Shields as the criteria for the layout of the citation and the bibliography. This is generally accepted as suitable for UK universities who follow Harvard.

This style is available in EndNote X as part of the styles folder. If you are using an older version of EndNote you will need to download the latest version of Harvard at Newcastle from http://www.ncl.ac.uk/library/endnote_tips_harvard.php

If you wish to use “Cite them right: referencing made easy” there are copies available in the Robinson Library.

Easy way to download from the Newcastle Library Catalogue in EX

Posted on by
Reply

When we upgraded to EndNote X we were able to place the connection file for our library catalogue in the C Drive. This means you can now easily connect with the library catalogue and download references directly into your library. No need to save the file onto your own filespace!

To search the library catalogue through EndNote X :

Open a library within EndNote.
Click on Tools then Connect
Scroll right and click on Connect again.
A box will appear called Choose a connection file. Locate Newcastle University Library in the alphabetical list. Either double click or select it and choose Connect in order to open the catalogue.
Type in your keywords, author or title in order to locate the items you are interested in.
Once the catalogue has found a list of matched items, a box will appear called Confirm Remote search. This will indicate the number of references, if there is a large number you may wish to close this and add more keywords to your search.
If you wish to display the results click on OK.
Double-click on a reference to expand it. If you want to import any references to your EndNote Library you must close any expanded references. Highlight the reference you want to import by clicking once on them. If you wish to import multiple references hold down Ctrl and click on them. Click on Copy References to. Then click on Choose Library. Select the EndNote Library you want to import the references into.

The references are then imported into that Library.
