Importing Unicode records (with
diacritics or original scripts) from the Main Catalog
into EndNote 8
You have to use EndNote 8, and connect directly
to the catalog. Filters can only import plain ASCII text,
even in Unicode-enabled EndNote 8.
Making the Connection UTF-8
- Open EndNote - When the Select a Reference Library
window opens, hit CANCEL.
- Click on Edit->Connection Files->Open
Connection Manager
- Click on Princeton University and then the
edit button.
- Click on Connection Settings. In the
Text box choose: UTF-8.
- Click on File->Save
as and type in Princeton U Unicode.enz
and click on Save. (You can give
it another name if you wish).
- Close out all the windows. Click on
File->Connect and
Princeton U
Unicode.
- You can now perform searches.
Displaying Downloaded Records using

Font a full Unicode font, such as Arial
Unicode MS.

Downloading Original Scripts into Endnote 8
Libraries
- First, decide on a field you wish to use for the
Original script data. The following is an option creating
a separate Original Scripts field.
- Open
Edit->Preferences,
and click on Reference Types.
- Click on Modify Reference Types and
choose Books.
- Scroll down to Custom 1, and type
Original scripts next to it; click OK.
- In Edit->Connection Files, choose
Edit "Princeton U Unicode" or the name
you gave the connection before.
- Click on Templates, and choose as
Reference Type Book.
- Scroll down to the bottom, place your cursor after
the last character in the last field (i.e., $uURL in
field 856), and hit return
- In the new field, type 880 in the very first
box, and then $a$b… in the second box. Be
careful not to delete (invisible) end-of-field
characters. Repeat for $c, $e, $f, $g, $n, $p, $q, $r,
$t, $v, $x, $y, $z. Most of the information you need
should be in $a, $b and $c.
- Move your cursor to after a in
$a$b, and click on Insert
Field; choose "Original scripts" or the name you
choose in 4. Move the cursor to after b and
repeat. The line should now read $aOriginal
scripts$bOriginal scripts etc.
- Click Save. If you now find records with original
scripts attached, these will be all entered into the
"Original scripts" field of your Endnote library. Note
that it is not possible to separate the various types of
data (author, title, publisher) in a meaningful way.
