How do I set up EndNote to use OpenAthens for Full Text Access?

 

Answer

To set up EndNote for accessing Purdue West Lafayette library content from on or off campus, follow these steps:

  1. Enter Library Search OpenURL Resolver: This allows you to check for full text options.
  2. Enter EZproxy Login: This is for authentication.

Important Note: The "Find Full Text" feature is not compatible with the following providers:

EBSCO

JSTOR

OpenAthens

Wiley*

ScienceDirect*

Due to security features implemented by these providers, EndNote cannot automatically download and attach the PDF. However, it may add a URL to the library reference, which can be used to manually download the PDF and attach it to your library.

Steps in EndNote 20:

  1. On the Edit menu (or EndNote 20 on Mac), select Preferences.
  2. Select Find Full Text.
  3. In the space for OpenURL Path, enter: https://purdue.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/openurl?institution=01PURDUE_PUWL&vid=01PURDUE_PUWL:PURDUE&ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&
  4. In the space for Authenticate with: URL, enter: https://login.ezproxy.lib.purdue.edu/login
  5. Select Apply and then OK.
