EndNote: PubMed Auto Export

 

 

Automatic export of PubMed references can be done using Internet Explorer (IE) or Mozilla Firefox browsers. Both browsers are available for Windows/Vista and Macintosh platforms. IE is the default Internet browser for Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/Internet-explorer/default.aspx). Mozilla Firefox, reputed more secure than IE, is widely used on both Windows/Vista and Macintosh platforms. Since Firefox versions 3.0 and above are already configured for automatic export. Note that these instructions apply to EndNote X2/X3 only.

 

The key to this automatic export process is in the browser setup. IE 7/8 require an adjustment to their default settings. The necessary adjustment is unavailable in older versions of IE.  

 

To configure IE for PubMed auto export to EndNote. To configure IE version 7:

 

·         Open IE 7

·         Click Tools

·         Click Internet Options

·         Select the Program Tab

·         On the lower right side click Set Program

·         Select “Associate a file type or protocol with a program” See Figure 1

·         Select .txt

·         Click Change Program

·         Select EndNote

·         Click OK, and EndNote should open.

·         Select the EndNote Library wanted

·         Highlight PubMed as the Import Filter, and click Choose

 

 

For those using IE 8, the settings are somewhat different.

 

·         Locate any text file (.txt) file on the computer, or create a brief test file (.txt)

·         Right click on txt file icon

·         Select Open With

·         Go to Choose Program

·         Highlight EndNote

·         Check box (Always use selected program to open file)

·         Click on Okay

·         Now any text file will be opened by EndNote

 

Note: if Notepad is needed, reverse the steps to make Notepad the default to open text files. If Notepad is used regularly for other applications, this option is not recommended.

 

If the user has administrative rights to the computer, there is another method of using IE8 in XP:

 

·         Go to Start

·         Choose Control Panel                                                                   

·         Choose Folder Options

·         Select File Types tab                                                                                                      

·         Under Registered File Types scroll down and choose txt

·         Choose Advanced at the bottom of the page

·         In Edit File Type menu choose Open and then Edit

·         Under Application Used to Perform Action, browse to Programs Folder on hard drive

·         Find the EndNote folder and choose EndNote.exe

·         (It will look something like this… “C:\Program Files\EndNote X2\EndNote.exe” )

·         Click Okay

 

In PubMed do the following:

 

·         Select references

·         Click Send To

·         Choose Destination File

·         Change the Format to MEDLINE

·         Click Create File

·         Choose Open

·         When EndNote opens, choose the PubMed filter

 

If the user has administrative rights to the computer, there is another method of using IE8 in Vista:

 

·         Go to Start

·         Choose Default Programs

·         Choose “Associate a file type or protocol with a program”

Beginning the week of August 10^th study areas in the Medical Library will be closed and access to computers and print materials will be limited for 2-3 weeks due to the installation of new carpeting. The circulation desk and reserve collection will be accessible during regular hours and reference librarians will continue to be available from 9-5. Please see the library website (https://library.medicine.iu.edu) for up-to-date information on access to the library during this time.

The Medical Library now subscribes to BMJ Case Reports.  BMJ Case Reports delivers a focused, peer-reviewed, valuable collection of cases in all disciplines so that healthcare professionals, researchers and others can easily find clinically important information on common and rare conditions. This is the largest single collection of case reports online with more than 1000 articles from over 55 countries.

The ceramic artwork of Dr. Martin Friedman, COO, Clinical Affairs is now on exhibit in the display case to the left of the entrance of the Medical Library. The pieces on display were created in 2007, 2008, and 2009 by Dr. Friedman during evening adult education classes at the Indianapolis Art Center in Broad Ripple in the ancient Japanese ceramic technique of Raku .

The Raku firing technique originated in 16th century Japan.  Tea bowls were built from clay by hand and then were fired with lead-based glazes in wood-fired kilns.  These clay pieces may be hand-built, wheel-thrown, or some combination of both.  Specially formulated Raku glazes are now used for this type of firing. Typically, Raku-glazed pieces are fired for about one hour to a temperature of about 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit.

Dr. Friedman commented on his new found interest in Art.  “I grew up with no training or inclination toward any of the visual arts.  My interest in Ceramics blossomed in middle age, about ten years ago, at the Chautauqua Institution in Chautauqua, New York.  Chautauqua is the place in the United States where the idea of continuing education for adults was invented in the late 1800s.  Chautauqua’s spirit and atmosphere gave me the courage to try something utterly foreign to my life experience up to that point.”

“I don’t offer pieces for individual sale.  On two occasions I’ve donated a number of pieces to silent auctions to help raise funds for work-related worthy causes, and I hope to be able to do this again in the future.”

Dr. Friedman’s ceramics will be on display through the end of summer.
