You can export references from Library Search into both EndNote Desktop and EndNote Online using the instructions below. 

When exporting references from any database you should always double check that the reference has exported correctly and that the correct fields have been completed in your EndNote library.

For EndNote Desktop

  • Open your EndNote Library.
  • Navigate to Library Search, complete your search and click on the required article title to open the article record.
  • Under the 'Send to' heading choose 'EndNote RIS' and click 'Download.' This will download the file: Primo_RIS_export.  
  • Click on the downloaded file to export the reference to your EndNote library. (See attached screenshot for details.)

For EndNote Online

  • Log into EndNote web on your Internet browser.
  • In another tab in the same browser go to Library Search, complete your search and click on the required article title to open the article record.
  • Under the 'Send to' heading choose 'EndNote WEB'.  This will open a new window displaying a 'Primo import results' message. 
  • The reference will be shown in the ‘unfiled’ folder under My References in EndNote online.
