Saving Bibliographic Information to your Library

You can save bibliographic information to your library easily with the Capture button in the EndNote Web browser toolbar. This command scans the bibliographic information stored on the web page and creates a pre-filled reference that you can save to a new or existing group or groups. If no group is specified, the reference is saved to Unfiled.

After conducting your search, make sure to go to the individual record before using Capture. The Capture tool saves one reference at a time and will not save marked references from the results page.

1. Click the Capture button in the EndNote Web toolbar which will open a new reference window.
2. Complete or modify any of the fields.
3. Click the Save to button and select EndNote Web.

Alternately, you can select EndNote when saving a captured reference. This will save the reference to a formatted file that opens in EndNote importing the reference into the selected library.

Note: Be aware that some Web sites alter the URL during your session. Changing the record view can have this effect.

Note

If you are viewing an abstract version of a record, make sure to determine the abstract's origin before saving to your library. Abstracts are sometimes provided by publishers or other resources and can be inaccurate. Only cite from an abstract if it was written by the same author(s) of the full-text version.

Capture Tip

A default reference type, the type most commonly used, is assigned to each Resource. After saving the reference with Capture, confirm that the reference type is correct and all fields indicated with asterisks are complete.
