ENDNOTE - Bibliography Management Software


Using EndNote with Voyager (the Library Catalogue)

There is a Connection File that can be used with Voyager.

Obtaining the Connection File

  1. A Voyager connection file is supplied by EndNote.
  2. If the connection file that comes with EndNote doesn't work, then you will need to click on the following link to download the U Auckland connection file.   EndNote must be closed when you download new connection files. Save the U Auckland.enz file into the one of the following locations: 
  • Windows users should save the file in a folder (eg: endnotex3connections) in one of the following locations: C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\My Documents\ (for Windows XP) or C:\Users\[User Name]\ Documents\ (for Windows Vista or Windows 7).
  • Macintosh users should save the file in Macintosh HD >>Applications >>EndNoteX3 >>connections

You will need to make sure the EndNote folder locations match where you are saving the file. In EndNote select Edit > Preferences > Folder Locations to check the locations.

Using the Connection File

  1. Open EndNote (Start >> Programs >> EndNote >> EndNote Program) and open your EndNote library. 
  2. From EndNote click on Tools >> Online Search. Choose either Online Search to display a list of connection files available then select the required one. Or click on the name of the database connection file if it is already displaying. If you’ve previously used a connection file it will display in this window for future use. 
  3. EndNote has now established a link into Voyager and the EndNote search screen will open, any search you do now will be a live search of Voyager.
  4. For more information on using the online search feature in EndNote refer to the latest EndNote handout.
