EndNote's Find Full Text feature can be configured and used to search most of the full-text publications to which you have access as a member of the OSU community.


If you or colleagues or collaborators are working with the citation manager, Zotero, you need to export your library or references from it in a form suitable for import in Zotero. Instructions can found in the Zotero help documents.
If you don't find the import option (filter) or output (citation) style you need in the pre-loaded options, try searching the extensive menu of both filters and styles available on EndNote's website. Simply download the file to the appropriate EndNote/Filter or EndNote/Styles folder in C://Program Files/EndNote.
