    Automatic Export of PubMed Citations to EndNote
    (http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02763861003723317#.UnARCCQ2-CY, 2010-04) London, Sue; Gurdal, Osman; Gall, Carole
    The export of MEDLINE references to EndNote can be accomplished in various ways. Unlike Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed does not have a direct export feature to EndNote. Until recently, PubMed references had to be saved as a text file to import into EndNote. Now, the automatic export of PubMed references can be done using Internet Explorer (IE) or Mozilla Firefox Web browsers. The development and teaching of seamless citation management is a value-added service to health professionals.

    EndNote and Reference Manager Citation formats compared to "instructions to authors" in top medical journals
    (2006) Brahmi, Frances; Gall, Carole
    The study compared citation format in EndNote version 7 and Reference Manager version 11 with the citation format for references found in the instructions to authors from the most significant medical literature. The resulting information should be very useful to those who depend on citation management software to format and organize their references for publication in medicine, and librarians and others who teach the use of citation management software.

    The Indianapolis Foundation Library Partners
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2004) Champlin, Constance J.; Gall, Carole; Lewis, David W.
    In 1989 an anonymous bequest of nearly $15 million was made to The Indianapolis Foundation, creating the Library Fund, which would be used to support Marion County libraries. This group, which would come to be called The Indianapolis Foundation Library Partners, was made up of the Indianapolis Marion County Public Library (IMCPL); the libraries of all of the public, private, and parochial high schools in Marion County; and the libraries of Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), Marian College, and the University of Indianapolis. The donor stipulated that that The Indianapolis Foundation “shall give preference to projects which cannot be met by the operating budgets of the recipient institutions.” Further, the donor expressed a hope that, “in exercising its discretion, the Foundation will emphasize provision of books and other library materials rather than the employment of personnel and the construction of buildings.” Thus the proceeds of the Library Fund were to be used for new, innovative, and collaborative projects. Core library operation expenses and building projects were excluded. This remarkable gift created a resource, now valued at approximately $25 million and producing approximately $1.25 million a year, that is truly unique. Since its beginning in 1989, the Library Fund has made over $16 million in grants to Marion County libraries. This resource in turn fostered a collaborative environment among the libraries and librarians in Marion County that is also unique. In this article we describe the history of The Indianapolis Foundation Library Partners, its current programs, and its growth over the years.

    Retrieval comparison of EndNote to search MEDLINE (Ovid and PubMed) versus searching them directly
    (2004) Gall, Carole; Brahmi, Frances
    Using EndNote version 7.0, the authors tested the search capabilities of the EndNote search engine for retrieving citations from MEDLINE for importation into EndNote, a citation management software package. Ovid MEDLINE and PubMed were selected for the comparison. Several searches were performed on Ovid MEDLINE and PubMed using EndNote as the search engine, and the same searches were run on both Ovid and PubMed directly. Findings indicate that it is preferable to search MEDLINE directly rather than using EndNote. The publishers of EndNote do warn its users about the limitations of their product as a search engine when searching external databases. In this article, the limitations of EndNote as a search engine for searching MEDLINE were explored as related to MeSH, non-MeSH, citation verification, and author searching.

    Zotero: A Product Review
    (Routledge, 2009) Gall, Carole; Brahmi, Frances A.; Trinoskey, Jessica
    Zotero is a free and open source Firefox extension that exists within the web browser and allows one to collect, manage, store, and cite resources in a single location.1 Zotero automatically imports citation information from a number of sources, including: non-subscription, newspaper and commercial websites, and web databases such as PubMed and MedlinePlus. Zotero offers more options for note taking than the better-known citation management system, EndNote. Sixteen citation styles are available when Zotero is initially downloaded, with many more freely available. Zotero also integrates with Microsoft Word once users install a plug-in. Though Zotero does not have an on-demand customer support service, its website offers a wealth of information for users. The authors highly recommend Zotero
