EndNote is a popular piece of software that is used by many members of the Vanderbilt Community. First and foremost, the most efficient way to find the full-text of an article is through starting at http://www.library.vanderbilt.edu/, but if you want to try the following options, it may save you a little bit of time, but the first thing you need to do is to make a couple of changes to your Preferences. When you are in the EndNote client, go to Edit -> Preferences:
In the OpenURL path, enter the following:
https://catalog.library.vanderbilt.edu/openurl/01VAN_INST/01VAN_INST:vanui?
And in the Authenticate with URL, enter the following:
https://login.proxy.library.vanderbilt.edu/login
You can also select the “Automatically invoke Find Full Text on newly-imported references”.
Then click “Apply” and OK. There are two ways from within EndNote to potentially find full text. The first utilizes the “Find Full Text” feature within EndNote.
This option will try to locate full text of the articles selected. You will be prompted to Authenticate with your VUNet ID/epassword and if it is successful, there will be paperclip next to the Author.
NOTE: Based on our experience, this is rarely reliable. If you are not successful, try option #2:
Here, we will utilize the OpenURL option. There are a couple of ways to get to it. First, make sure the article you want to find is selected, then go to References -> URL -> OpenURL Link:
The 2nd method is to right-click on the article
This will take you directly to the Vanderbilt Library’s catalog where you can then access the full text if it is available.
This is just a couple of ways that you can utilize EndNote. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
LTDS spend much of the week upgrading systems around the institutional repository as well as working to resolve issues around a data feed on Thursday.
During these two weeks, LTDS made progress towards several long term projects including going live with the new ILLiad pages, upgrading the development environment for OJS and adding changes to the ArchivesSpace interface. Additional changes include:
Occasionally, there are problems with the Outlook client but you really need to access a shared exchange mailbox. One way to do this is via the web:
http://outlook.com/owa/{emailbox}@vanderbilt.edu
So, if you are trying to access the Central Circulation email box, your URL would look like this:
http://outlook.com/owa/cencirc.library@vanderbilt.edu
It will then prompt you to log in, which you will use your own Vanderbilt email address and epassword and if you are authenticated & authorized, you will see the mailbox.
LTDS made significant progress towards several planned system upgrades including VUIR, OJS, and ILLiad among other projects this week.
LTDS continued to work through various items including the items below. One project we are reviewing is how LTDS communicates about our current projects, training sessions, planned upgrades, and how we can better get information back about issues and future plans. If you have suggestions, please contact Dale or another member of the team.
LTDS continued to work on long term projects during the week. The team also spent a large amount of time on informs this week.
LTDS spent significant time during the week of January 12th preparing for the ILLiad upgrade and revising websites — both public and staff focused. LTDS continued to work on various log term projects with the anticipation of new projects moving forward soon. Various other activities include:
In September 2019, Digital Strategies implemented a typography refresh for all Vanderbilt websites, introducing improvements such as larger, simpler fonts and increased content area width in order to stay current with modern web trends.
On Tuesday, January 21 LTDS will apply these changes to the Libraries’ public website. In addition to the changes provided by this refresh, we’ve taken the opportunity to refine certain page elements, such as the right sidebar you see on the Heard and division homepages. Here are a couple of preview shots:
