For example, if the library says, "Showing 10 out of 200 references," EndNote imports only 10 references. If the library you are importing is locked or in "Read-Only" mode, all references are imported regardless of what is currently showing. - Open the library into which you want to import the references. - From the File menu, select Import. - Click the Choose File button to locate and open the library you want to import. Select the file and click OK. - From the Import Options list, select EndNote Library. - Select an option from the Duplicates list: o Import All: Imports the references, including duplicates. o Discard Duplicates: Imports the references, except duplicates. o Import into Duplicates Library: Duplicate references are imported into a library called File-Dupl.enl, where "File" is the name of the library into which you are importing. - Set the Text Translation option to No Translation.
