To access these settings, go to the EndNoteEdit menu, select Preferences, and then click Libraries in the list of preferences.
Use the Libraries preferences section to specify which libraries should open by default when you start EndNote. First, use the drop-down list to choose from these options:
Open the most recently used library
Open the specified libraries
Prompt to select a library
Do nothing
If you opt to “Open the specified libraries,” you must list those specified libraries here. To add a library to the list:
If the library is not already open, close the preferences dialog and open the library. Do this by selecting Open from the File menu, and then selecting the desired library.
Return to the Libraries section of the Preferences dialog, and click Add Open Libraries to add all open libraries to the list.
To remove a library from this list, select it in the Libraries panel, and then click Remove Library.
Of course, once EndNote is started, you can always open a library by selecting Open from the File menu.
Click the "Show Library Name in Reference Window" check box if you want the library name to appear at the top of each Reference window.
Spotlight is a comprehensive searching feature available in OS X version 10.4 and later. By default, EndNote libraries are not included in a Spotlight search.
Turn Spotlight searching on for EndNote from the Library preferences panel. When you enable Spotlight searching, EndNote creates a Spotlight folder in each library’s Data folder.
When a Spotlight search points to an EndNote reference, that reference appears in Spotlight as a "file" with the extension .ESL. These EndNote search files are named "EndNote Record," and appear with an EndNote library icon. Double-click on an .ESL file to launch EndNote, open the appropriate library, and display the reference that matches the Spotlight search.
Note: The EndNote application folder must reside in your main Applications folder in order to find EndNote references with Spotlight.
