Why do I need filters or connection files?

Filters are used when importing saved records from a database search into Endnote when direct export is not available.

Connection files enable EndNote to open, search, and import references from University library catalogues (such as the UNSW catalogue) and also from public library catalogues.

How do I find a connection file?

EndNote Connection Files include a full list of connection files.
