Filter Files for CSA databases:
The following amended filter files are available for CSA databases
- Biological_Sciences_(CSA)USyd2004.enf for PCs
- EconLit(CSA)USYD.enf for PCs. Note: the filter file that comes with EndNote for Econlit works well, but does not import the author affiliation into the author address field. If you want this information in the correct field then use this amended filter.
- An amended filter for LLBA is available for download at the University of Auckland Library Endnote site.
- PAIS(CSA)usyd.enf for PCs
- An amended filter for WSPA is available for download at the Monash University Library Endnote site.
- Zoological_Record_Plus_(CSA)Usyd2003.enf for PCs
Note: Use the filter supplied with Endnote 9 to import references from ASFA and Georef.
