Instructions for exporting citations from World Shakespeare Bibliography to EndNote


The first time you use World Shakespeare Bibliography, you will probably need to install a special filter before you can export citations to EndNote. Instructions follow below in two stages, first for getting and installing the filter, and second for exporting citations.

Depending on the number of citations you intend to export, it may be more expedient to use Google Scholar instead. Here you can type specific article titles and download citations one-at-a-time. Be sure to use Google Scholar while logged into the KU library for wider access. Step-by-step instructions for exporting citations from Google Scholar to EndNote are available here.

 

Instructions for Getting and Installing a Filter


  1. Before you begin, it will be useful to download and install the filter if you haven't already. (You can come back to this step later, though, if you prefer). Get the World Shakespeare Bibliography filter here.

  2. In the pop-up Opening (FilterName).enf box, make sure the Open with box is set to EndNote X6 (as below) then click OK.

  3. The filter will open in EndNote. (If it doesn't, check first for messages about pop-up blockers then try the download again.) From the main EndNote menu, click File then Save as.
