not available.
You can add references to your Library by saving records from the database as a text file
(filename.txt) and then importing this into EndNote using the appropriate Import Filter.

12. HINT 1: Using import filters in EndNoteWeb
If you follow the above steps they will work for the Compendex database BUT
not for other databases. Each database needs a different import filter to
download references into EndNoteWeb.
If you are going to use EndNoteWeb on a regular basis with different databases
and you are not sure how to export the references from the database then just
carry out a quick Google search to find the import instructions.
e.g. “PubMed and Endnote web import instructions”.

In Word access the EndNote X3 tab – go to Preferences and then the Application
tab. Change the Application setting from EndNote to EndNoteWeb.
