• This tutorial shows how to find articles on COVID-19 and Fake News in the Academic Search Premier library database.
• Once we find articles, we will select about ten of them and export them to EndNote.
• We will then import this file into EndNote.
• In EndNote, we will create the Group "COVID" for the new citations and move them into it.
• Finally, we create a bibliography, in MLA format, of citations in our group "COVID.'

At the Berry Library home page, select "Academic Search Premier" in the drop list of "Alphabetical List of Databases."

• Click "GO."

If you are accessing the Berry Library from off-campus,

• you will be prompted to enter your SSU username/password before you can search Academic Search Premier.
  • This verifies that you are a member of the Salem State community and therefore entitled to use library databases.

• Once Academic Search Premier opens (either right away if you are on campus, or after you enter your credentials in the Proxy Server), go to the "Advanced Search" link:

• Enter your search terms "COVID-19" and "fake news" in two different lines on the Advanced Search template. 
  • Notice the "AND" to the left of where you key in "fake News."
    • This shows that a Boolean "AND" search will be executed. Records will have both concepts: COVID and fake news.
  • Notice that as I begin entering my terms, Academic Search Premier suggests additional, enhanced options. 
  • Select one!

• After I have my final search, I press "SEARCH."

• I get 277 results!
• I check the Limit to "Full Text" box on the left of the page to articles in the Berry Library collection.

The Full Text Limit Box:

• Source types of my articles:

• I browse the list of articles and click the yellow "Folder" icon on the right side of the page to save the ones I like.

​​​​​​​

• Once I have all the articles I want, I click the Folder View, and "Select All"
  • The first screen shot shows where I clicked "Folder View."
  • The second shot shows where I "Select All.'
  • The third shot shows more of the references in the Folder.

Step One

• To the right of the citations in my folder is a list of tools.
• Click on "Export."
• This will move citations in our folder to a file that can be imported into EndNote.

Step Two

• This box opens choices of export locations.
• Click the button marked:

   Direct Export in RIS Format (e.g. CITAVI, EasyBib, EndNote, ProCite, Reference Manager, Zotero

• Look for a file with a .ris extension on your computer. 
• My file has the Z icon because I have Zotero (another citation management system) installed. 
• Your file most likely will just say: 
  • "delivery (1).ris"

• In EndNote, click "Collect" and "Import References." 
  • A template appears.
  • Fill it out as the example below show.
  • Click "Import."
  • Please email ndennis@salemstate.edu with help here!

• Nine references were imported into EndNote:

• Clicking on "My References" shows the new citations:

• Click on "Organize" and "Manage My Groups" 
  • Click "New Group."

• Create a new group "COVID."

• Go to your References, select all, and move to the COVID group:

Go to "Format" in the ribbon above your references.

• Click "Bibliography."

Enter data in the drop down boxes that open.

• Select the references you would like included in the bibliography. In our example, we are working with the entire "COVID" file.
• Select "MLA" format.
• Select either "text" or "rich text format" for the bibliography output. Both of these will open in Word or other document processing programs.
• When you are done, click "Save," "Email," or "Preview."

This is what "Save" provides:
