How does the Direct Export feature work, and how is it different from Connection Files?
Certain databases contain a special download button that will automatically open up and send your search results directly to EndNote, pick the correct import option, and start the import process automatically. All you need to do is choose the EndNote Library into which the data should be imported. This “direct export” does away with the additional steps of saving the references to a text file, and then importing that file with the appropriate Import Filter. Many online databases, such as Highwire Press, Ovid, OCLC, ProQuest, and the ISI Web of Science, provide Direct Export of references into EndNote. The Direct Export option requires EndNote to be available on the machine you are using. With Direct Export, you start from inside a web-based database and automatically open up and send references to EndNote. Connection Files are used from inside a current EndNote session and connect out to a web-based database allowing references to be pulled back into an EndNote Library.
