It is possible to configure EndNote to search Ovid databases. The advantage is that references are immediately made part of your EndNote database. The disadvantage is that you lose all the valuable search tools that the Ovid search interface provides. Steps:

1. Apply to the Moody Medical Library for an Ovid user ID and password.
2. EndNote has connection files for many databases and platforms. Connect to the EndNote Connection Files page and locate the desired database. There is a sort feature so you can group your choices by database name or by "Information Provider" (e.g. Ovid).
3. Click on the ftp link in the table.
4. When prompted, Save the file. Browse to the folder where EndNote is saved on your hard drive and save the file in the Connections folder. For example: C:\Program Files\EndNote\Connections.
5. Open EndNote.
6. Click on the Edit pull-down menu.
7. Click on Connection Files and select Open Connection Manager.
8. Scroll until you see the database name and matching information provider. E.g. Medline (Ovid) and Ovid
9. Click the Edit button.
10. Click on Connection Settings.
11. Enter your Ovid user id and password in the appropriate blanks. When you close the window, you will be prompted to save changes.
12. Click on the Tools pull-down menu and select Connect and the appropriate database to search.
