EndNote Filter Help for MaineCat and NExpress
The export process is the same on MaineCat and NExpress and the Bowdoin College Library catalog. These Catalogs allow you to mark and export citations into EndNote. When viewing a list of citations, check off the ones you wish to save and then click Or if you are viewing a single record, select the EXPORT button.
Once you have selected your sources, choose VIEW/EXPORT SAVED RECORDS
At the next screen, under "Format of List," select "End-Note/RefWorks." Under "Send List To," select "Local Disk." Click on the "Submit" button.
At the Save As...dialogue box that appears, navigate to where you want to save the file and click on Save. By default the file is saved as "export.txt".
Open the EndNote program. Open the library file you want to add the references to. Choose File/Import.
Click on the button and navigate to your file, export.txt. Then, under the Import Option, choose INNOPAC. If you do not see the INNOPAC option, choose Other Filters, and then select INNOPAC and press the Choose button. Note: after you select INNOPAC from the Other Filters list the first time, it should begin to appear in the Import Options drop-down menu.
Now click the button. You citations will be imported into EndNote. Be default only newly imported citations are displayed. To view all the references in the library, choose References/Show All.
** NOTE: As of EndNote X1 the INNOPAC filter may not work correctly with the End-Note/Refworks export option. In this case either choose "Full Display" as the format, which should work correctly, or download and use the custom NEXP filter.
