Creating New References
There are three ways to add new citations to your EndNote library:
- Exporting references from an online database
- Conducting an online search via the EndNote platform
- Manually creating references
From an Online Database
To export a reference from an online database (including the Teachers College Supersearch):
Use an online database (such as the Teachers College Supersearch or an online journal such as PubMed) as you typically would.
- Select the reference you want. Click Send To or Export, then select Citation Manager or EndNote Desktop
-
Export the articles you have selected, then click Export. You can export up to 500 records each time without selection.
- A file will download. Open it with EndNote. To add a PDF of the article, select the reference, right click on the references, then click the Find Full Text button.
From the EndNote Platform
To conduct an online search via the EndNote platform:
- Click the globe-shaped online search icon. Then click More.
- You can access the TC online database by selecting Columbia U-Teachers or the Columbia University database by selecting Columbia U and clicking Choose.
- The database will appear in your navigation.
- Build your search by entering key words, authors, or topic of your choosing. Then click Search.
- Select the references you want, and select Copy Reference To. Then select your library or create a new library in your computer.
- Choose a name for your library, choose where you want it to be saved, then click Save.
Manually Create New References
- Go to References then click New Reference.
- This opens a new reference window for you to start typing (or pasting) into the fields. Set the reference type in the drop-down menu at the top of the record window. Enter author names. For multiple authors, enter each new author on a new line within the Author field. Click Save when finished.
