Exporting References from the Bowdoin Library Catalog

As you are conducting research for your paper, you may find sources in the Library Catalog that you want to cite. The Library's Catalog allows you to export marked records into EndNote. After you perform a search, the Library's top menu will change and "Export" will be an option. Click on "Export" to save that particular record. Continue to do this for each source. Once you have exported your sources, you will want to "Export Saved List."
