Filter Files

For some databases a filter is the best way to get references into EndNote. Filter files are available for selected databases below, as well as instructions for downloading the records from the database. You must save the Filter files in the correct folder where your copy of EndNote has been installed. Typically this will be C:\Program Files\EndNote\Filters\.... Once you have saved the Filter file in the correct location you can use the Import command in EndNote to import the records you have downloaded.

If the database you are interested in is not listed on this page it may be listed on the Direct Exports page. If you would like further assistance in this area your Liaison Librarian is available to help you.
