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.

  • Licensed databases: In EndNote, go to "Tools – Online Search" and select the connection file for the desired database with the appropriate provider. You’ll find the name of the connection files in the table below. If these files are not available in your EndNote installation you can download them on the homepage of EndNote. 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.
  • Catalogue UB Wuerzburg: Use the connection file from the table below. A user ID and password are already included. Download the connection file And save it on your computer in the respective EndNote directory (e.g. C:\Programs\Endnote21\Connections\)
