EndNote v.3 and higher includes a Z39.50 client that allows you to import citations directly from queries against a Z39.50 server. Not all database providers offer Z39.50 access. Among those who do are Ovid and CSA. In addition, as an experimental service, databases that the University Libraries license from Silverplatter are now available via a Z39.50 gateway. This service is available from UW campus IP addresses only.
The most complete list of Z39.50 connection files is available from the Thompson/ISI EndNote web site at http://www.endnote.com/support/enconnections.asp.
