## 6.1 Searching via EndNote

EndNote's online systems also allow you to add references to your library. However, this is only recommended if you know exactly which reference you want to import. EndNote is not a suitable replacement for searching in databases like PubMed or One Business.

If you want to import a reference via EndNote's online system, follow the steps below.

1. Select the source in the left-hand column under 'Online Search'.
   If the source you want to search in is not listed, click 'more' and find your source in the list.
2. Then use the search window at the top to search.
   By default, you can search by author, year and title. Use the drop-down menu if you want to search by other terms.
3. Click on 'Search'.
4. Search results appear below the search window.
   If you want to add a reference to your library, select it and click the plus sign (yellow arrow in the image below).
