Two endnote questions

Hello,

I wonder if I could get some help with these problems:

1) I would like to cite two essays from the same volume in my footnotes.
I have created a different entry for each essay in my library. These are
the two entries: 

    Cooper, Alan, "Biblical Studies and Jewish Studies", The Oxford
Handbook of Jewish Studies, Ed. Martin Goodman, Oxford: Oxford
University Press, 2002, p. 14-35.
    Collins, John J., "The Literature of the Second Temple Period", The
Oxford Handbook of Jewish Studies, Ed. Martin Goodman, Oxford: Oxford
University Press, 2002, p. 53-78.

When I cite them in my footnotes, the volume's details appear in full
for each essay, rather than appearing in full for the first and then in
abbreviation for the second. I would like only the first to appear in
full and then have the second in abbreviation. How can I do this?

2) I cited a certain reference in footnote number 4. In a later footnote
(number 16) I wish to refer to this footnote number 4, so I have written
"see note 4". However, if I later insert another footnote between note 3
and 4, footnote 4 has now become footnote 5. Now footnote 16 refers to
the wrong footnote, because it still says "see note 4" instead of "see
note 5". So every once in a while I have to go back and check if
footnote 16 is still correct, or whether I have to fix it. Is there any
way I can use Endnote's help to do this for me? Can I use Endnote to
refer to a different footnote (and not only to an actual bibliographic
reference)? And can it update automatically rather than me having to

RE: EndNote X pdf advantages

I have used Endnote to store my PDFs as soon as it was option.  The
files are all in a subfolder (formally .DATA, I guess with EndnoteX they
hived this off and produced a new field, so now they will be in a PDF
specific folder?) and enough of the name I gave them when I temporarily
copied them to a folder on my desktop so that if the library should ever
get destroyed, they are still there in the folder.   There is no reason
you couldn't index this folder, if the need arose.  
Alternatively you can "attach" them in a relative manner with EndnoteX I
believe.  It makes it so easy to find the pdf when you are using
endnote.  A quick click of the button and it opens it.  I will never
look back.  

Just to correct one misconception from Jenny, the library itself doesn't
grow with these attached files, as I said they are stored in a folder
and accessed by the program. Yes, you need to move/copy the folder - but
you would have to do that in any backup scenario.

I would never ever store my PDFs in my EndNote library, for exactly the
reasons you give. It just isn't that hard to come up with a PDF storage
or naming system for PDFs, especially given the availability of several
PDF indexing programs. (And I would never store a PDF or any other
document on my desktop, that's poor PC hygiene).

RE: EndNote X pdf advantages

Hey there Douglas,
I would be interested to get a hold of some of the PDF indexing programs
you mention. I usually just rename my PDF's individually using my own
system (author, year, journal) and store them in individual journal
folders within my "references" folder. This is admittedly very time
consuming and sadly, I get very backlogged sometimes. If there is a
program out there that will help make my life easier, please tell me
about it. I'd appreciate it!

Cheers,

Erik

Importing MyLibrary into Endnote?

I'm curious. Is it possible to export records from LibraryThing
(www.librarything.com) into Endnote? Because LibraryThing does not have
very detailed subfields, etc. I don't think it could be imported using a
filter. 

You can, however, export a tab delimited list of items in LibraryThing
that includes a list of ISBN numbers.

Could someone conceivably use a long list of ISBN's to import records
from OCLC or Library of Congress?

Thanks

Jim

MLA import (CSA)

I have just upgraded from EN7 to EN9 on macintosh (10.3.9). My new institution uses CSA to access the MLA
database. My imports are not going well! All accents (French and other european languages) are
interpreted as odd signs (– <at>  etc) and some references lose part of their information or put it in the wrong
fields. I have checked that I seem to have the latest import filter on the endnote site. Can anyone suggest
what else I have missed?

re: CAB (SilverPlatter)> EndNote and Direct Export on a Mac

Hello Buzz,

I can't speak to your question about the EN filter for SP databases as
we mainly use custom Endnote Connection files to access those we license
with SP

But to your Mac problem, I can report that Direct Export from
Silverplatter databases into Endnote X on Mac is available using Safari.

Drag the Downloaded file from the Mac desktop into the Endnote
application in the dock (NOT directly into the library).  You'll get the
popup directory to Select the library.  Select your library, click Open
and voila there go the references into it!  Your description implied
that the user was dragging the Direct Export file directly into the
Endnote library...the file should be dragged into the application and
then the library selected from the directory..

Caveat.. we don't have CAB with SP, but the above test worked with
BIOSIS in SP with Safari...and I assume it would have worked the same
with other SP databases such as Ageline, Zoo Record, etc.

I don't have IE yet on the new mini Mac.

have a nice day,

RE: EndNote X pdf advantages

Hi Erik
As far as I am concerned the easiest way to access PDF file content
without worrying too much about organising them is to use a Desktop
Search program such as from Copernic, Google or Yahoo (prefer the first
one).

The time spent linking PDFs to endnote is a waste when you have
available these very efficient indexing programs. They will also find
very quickly almost anything in your computer.

Re: Importing MyLibrary into Endnote?

This piqued my curiosity so I gave it a try.
Use the expert search in WorldCat and enter sn:(isbn1 or isbn2 or
isbn3  ...) You could edit your tab delimited file and replace tabs with
" or " in a good text editor.
There may be a limit on the size of your query but I used fifty and it
didn't choke. The sn prefix searches both ISBN and ISSN. nb is ISBN and
ns is ISSN.

Have fun,
Greg

output format for 'Prenatal diagnosis'.

I am looking for an endnote output format for 'Prenatal diagnosis'.

in the context, it is author -date, for example, (Chen et al., 2004).

In the reference list, it appears as: 

Chen M, Lee CP, Leung KY, Hui PW, Tang MH. 2004. Pilot study on the midsecond trimester examination of fetal
nasal bone in the Chinese population. Prenat Diagn 24(2):87-91.

any equivalent output format?
Many thanks,
