New EndNote Connection File For The CSU Library Catalogue

Due to the recent update to the Library catalogue, the old CSU connection file no longer works (for searching the Library catalogue and adding references from there to EndNote). A new connection file is available for download from the Plugins page (under 'Connections') on the CSU Library's EndNote website.

You will need to save this new connection file to the following directory:

C:\Program Files\Endnote X?\Connections

*Please ensure that you overwrite any previous versions of this connection file as they are now obsolete.

Also:
*Please note that this connection file will not work on-campus at the moment. We are currently working on fixing this problem. If you have any questions or need to get the connection file working on-campus, please contact your Faculty Liaison librarian.

American Psychological Association (APA) 6th Edition Style Update

The EndNote® APA 6th Style is now available. The updated style is dependent on an accompanying change to the reference type matrix. Both files are provided in the download package along with installation instructions.

see APA 6th 'Output style' on CSU Library EndNote Plugins web page

Please note that the approved CSU APA Referencing Summary (guide) available from http://www.csu.edu.au/division/studserv/learning/referencing/index.htm is now based on the APA 6th edition.

Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard & CWYW in Pages 09

Thomson have reported compatibility problems with EndNote CWYW in Pages 09 and the new Mac OS update:

Thomson " ... do not recommend anyone who is relying on EndNote and Pages integration upgrade to Snow Leopard at this time. When an update or a workaround for this issue is released, this page will be updated."

Diffferent fonts appearing in in-text citations & references

If you enter, edit & save EndNote records using the default ‘Plain font’ and ‘Plain size’ settings, EndNote will automatically adopt the font and size of the text in your MS Word document.

If fonts, sizes or styles, other than the default ‘Plain …’ are used in your EndNote records, the text will appear in that format, regardless of the font formatting used in your MS Word document.

EndNote users may end up with different fonts in their Endnote library if they cut and paste text from other sources/documents into EndNote when they creat a records. In which case, selecting the text in your EndNote record and then choosing 'Plain font' and 'Plain size' will overcome this problem.

Updated MLA Output style

The latest edition of the MLA style manual introduced a number of significant changes to referencing requirements.
