How do I configure EndNote to search our catalog via Z39.50?

What options do I fill in for the EndNote connection?

Answer

Assuming you have already configured and activated the Z39.50 integration profile, use these settings:

Configuring the z39.50 client: You must configure the Alma IP address, port, and database name on the Z39.50 client machine:

The address/port to be configured is:
<Alma CNAME domain>:1921 (or 210, if you are working with Refworks – see To configure a Z39.50 Refworks client)

Database: Library Catalog (or whatever name you have for it--this just displays in EndNote)
Database Name: [INSTITUTION_CODE]    where [INSTITUTION_CODE] is in the form XXCODE_INST
Element Set: F
Port ID: 1921
Record Syntax: MARC21
Text: UTF-8

If you configured the Z39.50 service to require a User Name and/or Password, add those to the EndNote connection as well (this is rare).
