Step 2: Scroll down to Bibliography Manager.
- Click the radio button for Show links to import citations into.
- Use the pull-down menu to select EndNote.
- Click Save Preferences.

Step 3: Now after you perform a search, there will be an Import into EndNote link below each search result.

Step 4: When you click on this link, you will be prompted to tell your computer what software to use.
- Choose the Open with radio button and Browse to the EndNote software on your hard drive.
- Then you can tell your computer to open your EndNote library and it will complete the import.
- If you want your computer to remember to use EndNote to do this in the future, click the checkbox for Do this automatically...from now on .
