Unit 4.3 Print or export a separate bibliography

Sometimes you need to print or save a file of your EndNote library references as a stand-alone bibliography independently of any document you are writing. For example, you might want to share the references with a colleague who doesn't use EndNote.

  • In EndNote, select the references you want to print or export. Choose REFERENCES > SHOW SELECTED REFERENCES to display those references only.

  • The output style is shown on the toolbar. Use its drop down box to change it to an output style of your choice. Note:
    Show All shows all fields as they appear in the EndNote library.
    Annotated shows a reference and abstracts.
    Choose Select Another Style if the style you want does not appear as a choice.
    If you want the references sorted in a particular order, you may need to edit the output style.

  • To print the list: from the FILE menu select PRINT and OK.

  • To export the list to a Word or text file: from the FILE menu select EXPORT.
    Enter a file name of your choice.
    For a Word file, choose the .rtf format which preserves the style (italics etc).
    Click Save. Open the saved file in Word.

You can also create a subject bibliography which lists items under subject headings. See the EndNote manual for instructions.

For short bibliographies, the EDIT > COPY FORMATTED command lets you quickly copy and paste a group of references into a Word document in the style selected for the EndNote preview window.
