How do I use EndNote to search for full-text articles in my library?
You can use EndNote to find the full-text articles for references in your EndNote library. To do this, you need to set EndNote up to connect to our e-journal subscriptions.
To set up EndNote desktop (if not already done):
- In EndNote, go to: 'Edit' > 'Preferences' > 'Find Full Text'.
- In the 'Open URL' section enter: http://man-fe.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/openurl/44MAN/44MAN_services_page
- In the 'Authenticate with:' section enter: https://login.manchester.ac.uk/cas/login?url=
- You can then log in using your central username and password.

Once set-up, you can then look for full-text articles by following these steps:
- Select the references that you wish to search for the full-text for, or click 'Ctrl+A' to select them all.
- Click on the 'Find full-text' icon (represented by an Adobe symbol) on the top menu bar.
- EndNote will now look for these and automatically attach any that are available and can be found.
If you already have the full-text or can find them elsewhere, you can attach them to individual references by following these steps:
- Select the reference that you have the full-text file for.
- On the right of the screen, click the 'paper clip/attachment' symbol and locate the file on your PC.
