Some Mac OSX users have reported having problems importing their citations from EBSCO (ERIC) into Endnote. The work around for this issue is as follows:

1. In EBSCO, click on the export icon and choose “Direct Export to EndNote, ProCite, or Reference Manager”. (Or, if it is an available option, save the citation as a .txt file)
2. The file should download to your desktop (Or, if given the option, save the file to your desktop)
3. Go to your desktop and click on the name of the file ONCE. Add .txt (don’t forget the . ) to the name of the file.
4. Open EndNote. The Endnote icon will appear on the dock.
5. While holding down the Option and Apple keys, Drag and drop the text file to the EndNote icon on the dock.
6. A window will open in which EndNote will ask you to choose the name of the Library where you want to import the text files and which filter to use.
7. Click on the name of the Library, then click Open and the citation will import.
