Q. How can I automatically attach full-text articles to my references?

You can attach full-text articles to a reference automatically for available PDFs. The first step is to change the preference setting for EndNote. 

1. Under Edit, choose Preferences
2. Choose the Find Full Text option
3. Add the following:

OpenURL Path: http://mcgill.on.worldcat.org/atoztitles/link   

Authenticate with: https://proxy.library.mcgill.ca/login?url= 

The second step is to start with the find full-text option.

1. Click on reference(s) of interest.
2. Under References choose Find Full Text (also right-click).
3. When the authentication page appears, if off-campus, type in your McGill email address and password. Click OK. You need to authenticate only once during your session.
4. A search will begin. If the full text is found it will be added to the reference and a small paper clip will appear and PDF full text document will be attached.

Note: The success rate for finding all available PDFs varies and it is not 100%. You need to check the library catalogue to see if you have access to PDFs that EndNote did not find.
