Using EndNote with ABC-CLIO Databases

Most versions of EndNote do not have a filter available; therefore it is necessary to download a filter from the EndNote Website.

1. Go to the EndNote Filter page: http://www.endnote.com/support/enfilters.asp

2. There are two ways to find the filter: Click on the Filtering Options tab and sort filters by choosing ABC-CLIO off the drop-down menu, or click on the Sorting Options tab and sort by choosing Information Provider off the drop-down menu.

3. Click on the FTP link in the column on the right.

4. Save the file in your EndNote Filter folder.

Instructions for Downloading ABC-CLIO References:

Once you've marked some records from your search results:
1. Choose Output Options
2. On the Output Options screen, choose
Full Entry
All or Tagged (depending on whether you marked records or not)
Tab-Delimited Display
3. Choose Submit

Output options

4. From your browser's file menu, choose Save As, name it, and for save as type choose text file, and put it on the desktop for convenience or some other place you'll be able to find it. Typically the text file needs to be closed in order for the filter to work.

5. Go to EndNote and choose import under the file menu. Find the text file you created and the filter you downloaded (it should be in your EndNote filters folder), and import into a library. If EndNote was open when you downloaded the filter, you may have to close and reopen the program for the ABC-CLIO filter to show up on the list.
