Before you download references from an online source, consider copyright issues.

Copyright Issues and Fair Use of Downloaded Data

EndNote gives you the capability to import references downloaded from online databases into its libraries. Some producers of online reference databases expressly prohibit such use and storage of their data, others charge an extra fee for a license to use the data in this way. Before you download references from a database, be sure to carefully check the copyright and fair use notices for the database. Note that different databases may have varying restrictions, even from the same information provider (such as DIALOG or Ovid).
