How do I configure a connection to Alma in EndNote?

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:

Server Address: [environment].alma.exlibrisgroup.com   where [environment] is in the form EUXX, NAXX, or AP01
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).
