Hello! I am a medical librarian and intermediate EndNote user. I train patrons on the basics of EndNote. I admit that there is a lot I don't know yet, though. Hence my current query: Background: When you do an online search to get references into your library, EndNote puts a url into the citation record. I usually search PubMed. So when EN finds a citation it puts the url where it found it into the cite record. When you use Import to bring in a batch of cites from PubMed, there is no url in the record. This is because of the stupid decision by the NLM not to include a url in the data when you make a text file from their database. I have a patron who is using "Find Full Text" but he doesn't really need a full text attachment for every article. He really just wants a quick way to get to full text from his library. Since he's using Import he has no urls in his library. The "Find Full Text" doesn't have a high success rate. I assume this is because for a single article we often have multiple providers, and EndNote cannot make a decision about which link to go to and it freezes. I understand this. Question: So I'm wondering: is there a way to have EN search for a PubMed url for all of the records in a library? I see there is a menu item "URL" but it just has the option to "OPEN URL LINK" or "OPEN URL." Is there a "url search" kind of like the full text search? Thanks in advance! ~Monica
