Although SuperSearch does have the option to export to EndNote via RIS format files, references are imported into EndNote as a generic reference type, as the database connectors do not provide type or genre information. Two consequences are:
- Journal title goes into the “Alternative Title” field
- Publisher details are not exported with book
The EndNote option has therefore been removed at the request of some librarians.
Serials Solutions are developing one-touch export direct into EndNote Web, which will make export to EndNote easier although won’t necessarily help with the data accuracy. However, one-touch export could be included in Article Linker, so single citations could be exported more reliably. If the University experiments with RefWorks, we can also test Serials Solutions’ export to RefWorks, which is better developed than EndNote.
