This method offers fewer search options than when searching directly in the specialist database. The connection to the specialist database is established via connection files.

  • Option 1: In EndNote, go to "Tools – Online Search" and select the connection file for the desired database with the appropriate provider (see table below for providers). If you are logged into the university network (directly or via VPN), all you need to do is confirm with "OK" (without entering a user ID or password) for databases licensed by us.
  • Option 2: Use the connection files from the table below. A user ID and password are already included. While logged into the university network, download the connection file for the relevant database from the table. Save it on your computer in the respective EndNote directory (e.g. C:\Programs\EndnoteX7\Connections\)

Attention: The table containing the relevant connection files will only be displayed within the university"s computer network.
