By default, EndNote installs only the most popular connection files. For information about locating and installing additional files, see Installing Additional Connection Files.
If a connection file has not been provided for the database that you want to search, contact your librarian or information provider to see if their database is available on a Z39.50 server. If it is, you should request the information required to set up a Z39.50 client for that database. See Creating Connection Files.
The Connection Manager displays all of the connection files in the EndNote program folder as well as in your personal Connections folder. If you have received a connection file from a colleague or librarian or downloaded one from the Web, copy it into your personal Connections folder and it will appear in the Connection Manager. Keeping the file in your personal Connections folder ensures that it will not be deleted or overwritten with future updates to the EndNote program.
To locate your personal Connections folder or to designate a different Connections folder:
Select Preferences from the EndNoteEdit menu.
Select the Folder Locations option.
Select the Connection Folder option.
Click Select Folder.
Go to the Connections folder and select the connection files that you want to use.
With the folder open and selected, Open the folder and then click Select.
Click OK.Save.
Note: New and updated connection files are posted on the EndNote online site as they become available.
