Using UC-eLinks with EndNote 9 (also works with X and 7)

You can enable EndNote 9 (as well as EndNote X and EndNote 7) to link to the UC-eLinks server, which will provide all UC-eLinks services including full-text access (when available) to all your citations in your EndNote library.

This will work with Internet Explorer or Firefox (Mozilla) as the default browser for the PC. It doesn't work with Netscape for PC.

It seems to work OK with IE, Firefox, Mozilla and Netscape on Mac OS X.

1. To enter the UC-eLinks server information into EndNote 9, open your EndNote program and open the EndNote Preferences.

PC: Preferences is the last option on the Edit Menu.
Mac: Preferences is on the EndNote 9 Menu.

In the Preferences Interface box (shown below), highlight "OpenURL", and then check the "Enable Open URL" check box. You need to delete the existing OpenURL Path and type in the following: http://ucelinks.cdlib.org:8888/sfx_local

In the Arguments box, replace "WoS" with "EndNote" so that the argument is exactly as shown in the image below. PC users may cut and paste the following text to replace the entire argument. Do this one line at a time, no spaces may be in this argument:

?sid=ISI:EndNote&aufirst=AUFIRST&aulast=AULAST&issn=ISSN&isbn=ISBN&atitle=ATITLE &title=TITLE&volume=VOLUME&issue=ISSUE&date=DATE&spage=SPAGE&epage=EPAGE

2. To use UC-eLinks from EndNote, first open a reference in EndNote, then select References > OpenURL Link, as shown below.

A UC-eLinks window will open with your citation and full-text retrieval options.

*Note: Some databases, such as BIOSIS, insert extra information in the Journal Name field. This information is usually the place of the journal's publication, in parentheses. You can edit this out in your Citation View to allow UC-eLinks to locate the full text. For example, change Plant Physiology (Rockville, MD) to just Plant Physiology.
