Creating Bibliographies with EndNote

Searching Your EndNote Library

So now that you have a library full of a long list of references, how do you find the specific one you are looking for? It's a snap. You can easily locate a single reference or a group of common references: 

• Open the library
• Choose References from the main tool bar
• Choose Search
• Type in your search term(s)
• Choose the field you wish to search (author, title, etc)
• Use the Boolean and and or to connect multiple terms
• Match Case will make your search case-sensitive; Match Word will force your search to find your exact words (e.g., "state" would retrieve only "state" rather than "statehood")
• Click on Search
• This will give you a list of all references in the library that match your search criteria. (To get a full list of all references in the library, choose References from the main tool bar, then select "Show All")

Wow! You're more organized than you thought! But wait, there's more...
