A Special Note for Windows Users

Although endnlib.py was originally developed for use under Mac, recently the code has been ported to Windows¹. If Python is installed on Windows, and the PATH variables are properly set to point to the python home directory, then the conversion process will proceed as on a Mac. I.e., follow the instructions given in the previous sections regarding exporting and importing text files from EndNote libraries, and use the command:

>python.exe endnlib.py -f input_refs.endn -o output_refs.endn

However, if you don't have Python installed, there is a Windows-compiled version available. Download endnlib.zip and unzip into a separate folder. Note that there are five files and they all must be located in the same folder to work (see readme.txt for more details). Then the conversion process is as follows:

1. Export your EndNote library to a text file called input_refs.txt using the ``EndNote Export'' style.
2. run endnlib.exe -f input_refs.txt -o output_refs.txt
3. Import output_refs.txt into a new EndNote library using File [IMAGE png] Import...
4. Export this new EndNote library (with the now BibTeX-friendly ``Label'' field) to a .bib file using the ``BibTeX Export'' style.
