These are questions put to me during and after some of the EndNote training sessions at the Regents Center Library. Perhaps they will interest you, also.
2. You can down load a copy of EndNote at http://www.technology.ku.edu/~technology/software/endnote/ Here is a good overview of what is new. http://www.library.uq.edu.au/faqs/endnote/new_in_endnoteX3.html EndNote also has video tutorials on their website: http://www.endnote.com/training/tutorials/EndNoteX3/EndNote_X3.asp
3. Question: Acess KU libraries catalog? (NEW) EndNote does not install the KU Connection filter in the default installation. You must install the KU Connection filter manually by downloading this file, UKansas.enz , and Saving it in the Connection folder found in the EndNote program folder. Be sure to save the file in the C:rogram FilesndnoteX3onnections folder (or for Macs, in the Applications: EndNoteX3onnections folder.)

13. EndNote Questions You can insert citations in footnotes. First, use the appropriate Word command to create the footnote. Then, insert the EndNote citation in the footnote. Word controls the placement and numbering of the footnote, and EndNote formats the citation based on the current style. You must select a style that formats footnotes; for example, Chicago 15th A. Question: Does EndNote work with footnotes? It is quirky but it can be done BUT not with APA (no footnotes in APA)

23. EndNote Questions Question? Citing electronic journal articles Look for a “ persistent URL ” or the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) The APA 6 th says “Do not include retrieval dates” if you have a DOI. If you are using a PDF version of the article, cite as you would a print journal. If the article lists its DOI, add this to the end of the citation. It is not necessary to include database information (i.e. Wilson or Proquest, etc.)
24. EndNote Questions Question? When citing a web page, the citation date, may not always be apparent . Look for an “Updated. . . .” at the bottom of the screen. Whatever information you have is all you can give, just don’t mention “not there” in the citation. The citation is to help the reader find the information you found. Sometimes you have to craft the citation yourself and that is OK.
25. EndNote Questions Remember? The Best Tip Detailed guide sheets for importing references from databases into EndNote are available online here: http://www.lib.ku.edu/technology/citing/import/ Print out the instruction sheets for the databases you use most often
