Exporting a Travelling Library
If you are using Word 2007 or later, your Word document contains a Travelling Library comprising all references cited using EndNote. This enables you to collaborate with your colleagues on the same document without having to have the same EndNote library - the references can be exported from the document itself:
1.The Word document should be sent as an email attachment.
2. Open the document once received.
3. On the EndNote tab go to Tools > Export to EndNote > Export Travelling Library.
4. Select your EndNote library and click OK.
Note:
Shared EndNote library
If you are collaborating at the same institution it is possible to set-up an EndNote library for shared network access. EndNote will not allow more than one user at a time to edit the library. However, multiple users can access the same library simultaneously as long as the library is set to Read Only or Locked status. This allows users to perform searches, copy information to their documents and format their papers:
To establish a shared network access, use the network's system of permissions to control the type of access allowed for users.
To change to Read Only:
This approach minimises problems with EndNote & Word. If someone other than the library editor wishes to contribute references to the library, these can be sent as a small EndNote library (emailed as a compressed library) & then merged with the original library.
To merge EndNote libraries:
Note: Make a back-up copy of the main library before merging libraries.
EndNote is the desktop version. EndNote Online (formerly EndNote Web) is the online version.
EndNote Online compliments your EndNote desktop library by enabling you to:
