These instructions will take you through the basic steps of transferring references into Desktop Endnote/Endnote Online. If you have any problems transferring information then please contact the Library.

Please note, you can only transfer references from one page of results at a time. 

• Run your search and mark the records you want to transfer to EndNote.
• On the left hand menu, scroll down to reach Actions for selected content

Browsers such as Safari and Microsoft Edge do not currently support direct export; however, references can still be transferred.
