Hi
As a non-expert in EndNote, I intuitively started to enter
xxx in the keyword field to show that I don't (yet) have
the article or book. Then, from time to time, I can easily
display a list of xxx documents to identify gaps in my
collection.
Looking at things the other way round, I affix a small
coloured sticker on those articles and books (mine !) to
show that I've already entered their details into EndNote.
Since I sometimes find myself searching for and then finding
material that I've found previously, I find this also
helps.
As part of the desire to use EndNote as a "one-stop
shop" through which I can access all relevant
materials, I've asked both EndNote and Google, whether they
can provide the possibility for Google Desktop be able to
index Notes held in EndNote, so as to be able to search
across all notes as well as .doc and .pdf documents held on
my laptop. Hopefully they'll provide a solution for this at
some point.

Managing the location of fulltext documents in my Endnote
9 library

Subject: Managing the location of fulltext documents in my
Endnote 9 library
Hi everyone,
I am wondering if anyone has any ideas about how I can make
Endnote assist me identify articles by the following
categories, related to the location/existence of fulltext:
1. freely available online
2. attached pdf or other doc
3. photocopied hardcopy
4. within book held in bookshelf
5. no fulltext copy held
I would love it if I could colour-code entries to make this
clear. At the moment, most of my database falls into
category 2, that is, I have the pdf and I have attached it
as an image (rather than link to pdf which means links are
severed if I decide to move my data files, which I will do
eventually). I have the image field shown in display fields
so I can see whether I have the pdf or not. But image field
won't display anything but the paperclip - thus can't use
that to denote that I have the fulltext via other means.
Also, if the only solution is to code a field (say, label)
with text categories to denote this - is there an automatic
way of getting all articles with attached images (ie. pdfs)
to show the text "attached pdf or other doc" in
the label field? Or do I have to manually enter this?
thanks
monica
