We have discovered that when using Scopus and Endnote on the RAS, trying to download references from Scopus is slightly different. Once you have chosen the export format, a window appears with the options “Find”, “Save” and “Cancel” (instead of “Open”).
To save your references into Endnote you need to choose the “Save” option and save them to your filespace.
Open your Endnote library and click on File, Import.
Click on the Choose File option and find the file you saved.
Under Import Option choose Reference Manager(RIS)
Click on Import.
If you use Scopus on the network, it still works as before.
Just a reminder that there are lots of sets of instructions for how to download references from different electronic resources on the Endnote web pages
If your favourite resource isn’t there please let us know and we’ll see if we can add it
When using WoS with Internet Explorer, when you try to download records to EndNote it sometimes seems as if the search hasn’t worked and just hangs. This is because IE blocks the site – look carefully and you’ll see an extra bar has appeared near the top of the screen which says “IE has blocked this site from downloading files to your computer” Click for Options and choose “Download the file”. Then you have to repeat your search. This doesn’t happen using the Firefox browser. I’m not technical enough to know if this can be fixed, but I’m asking!
New instructions for downloading from two electronic journal collections will be available from our webpages in the next few days.
They will be for :
Informaworld
The new home for Taylor and Francis titles. We have full text access to approximately 1300 titles starting from 1997.
and
Metapress
Searchable database providing access to a range of titles predominantly published by Taylor & Francis.
Most ej titles will move over to the new Informaworld platform but in the meantime both instructions for downloading will be available.
Just a quick update about the connection files, which some people use to connect out from Endnote, mainly to library catalogues. If you are using Endnote on a university PC which has an IP address which begins with 10. the connection file to the British Library catalogue will not work. However, you can access it via the RAS or from PCs with different IP addresses.
It seems that there is a problem at present using connection files if you are using Endnote on the university network, although they are working fine through the RAS. We have asked ISS to investigate this for us, so hopefully it will be resolved soon. Meanwhile, if you want to use a connection file, just log on via RAS.
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.
