JISCMail - ENDNOTE Archives

Thanks for asking about this, Samantha. It's generally good news and much to be encouraged when someone wants to merge EndNote libraries: you just want one library per researcher, nearly always. Anything else can lead to muddle.

I would open the library that I love the best, perhaps the biggest or the one with the best filename etc.

Then use Import (File menu) to import one of the other smaller libraries. In the Import dialog, check that you have set the Import Option to be EndNote Import. This copies the entire content of the other library into the library you have open.

Repeat for another smaller library.

Keep going until all your refs are together in one library. Use that one in future.

Archive the smaller libraries, just because it's always wise to keep backup copies, although you hope never to need them again.

Hope that makes your Christmas a little merrier,

- Pamela
