The Capture tool scans the bibliographic information presented on a web page and creates a reference that you can save to a new or existing group. If no group is specified, the reference is saved to Unfiled.
To capture a reference:
- Navigate to the web page that presents bibliographic data. (Refer to the list of Capture Compatible Sources.)
- Click the Capture button in the EndNote online toolbar or the Capture References bookmarklet button.
- Complete or modify any of the reference fields.
- Click the Save to button and select EndNote online . Alternately, select EndNote to save the reference to your library in EndNote desktop.
Note: Be aware that some Web sites alter the URL during your session. Changing the record view can have this effect.

Capture Buttons
The Capture button is available on the EndNote online toolbar which is created automatically when you install the Cite While You Write plug-in or the Firefox Extension.
The Capture Reference bookmarklet is available if you downloaded the Web Capture installer.
Note
If you are viewing an abstract version of a record, make sure to determine the abstract's origin before saving to your library. Abstracts are sometimes provided by publishers or other resources and can be inaccurate. Only cite from an abstract if it was written by the same author(s) of the full-text version.
Capture Tip
A default reference type, the type most commonly used, is assigned to each Resource. After saving the reference with Capture, confirm that the reference type is correct and all fields indicated with asterisks are complete.
