Merge two Endnote Web Accounts / Libraries

Does that imply there is no way of combining two web based endnote-web-libraries from two users? It seems childishly easy to share them once everyone has the activated/purchased version - but before that it wont work? 

 

Possibly. However, if all three users (you, Boss A, Boss B) have access only to Endnote Basic/Online could you check to confirm whether the “Import References” function is accessible and operational (refer to image #1). If so you should be able to import the Endnote library references from one boss into the other boss’s library.

Before starting make backup copies of the two libraries and you might try testing the export/import function using a small number of records. The procedure would be to:

  1. Export the library references from Boss A’s Endnote online account as a “tab delimited file” (refer to image #2). Save the file to the desktop then either email or copy the tab delimited file to a portable medium (e.g., CD, flash drive, memory card). 
  2. Take the tab delimited file to Boss B’s computer then import the file into Boss B’s Endnote online account.
  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 using an exported tab delimited file from Boss B then importing it into Boss A’s Endnote online account.
