Saving Bibliographic Information to your Library
You can save bibliographic information to your library easily with the Capture button in the EndNote Web browser toolbar. This command scans the bibliographic information stored on the web page and creates a pre-filled reference that you can save to a new or existing group or groups. If no group is specified, the reference is saved to Unfiled.
After conducting your search, make sure to go to the individual record before using Capture. The Capture tool saves one reference at a time and will not save marked references from the results page.
To save a reference to your library:
The Capture button will appear in the EndNote Web browser toolbar once the EndNote Web Plug-in has been installed (to install the Plug-in, click on Download Installers under the Options tab and follow the instructions).
