Use of EndNote software to search and download records directly from Texshare, UT System and UT Austin OVID databases has been possible over the last several years because both EndNote and OVID supported a connection type known as "Z39.50". 

OVID's latest update to its server software no longer supports Z39.50 connections.  The new software is scheduled to debut with Texshare Select databases (CINAHL, MLA Bibliography) in early August and UT System/UT Austin databases (BIOSIS, INSPEC, International Pharmaceutical Abstracts, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Public Affairs Information Service) in mid August.  Once this happens, it will no longer be possible to search these OVID databases with EndNote software.  For this reason, the connection files previously available at this URL have been removed.

As the Texshare and UT System OVID databases transition to the new OVID software, a different EndNote related feature will become available.  This feature will enable simplified exporting of OVID citations.  The feature is known as Direct Export and will be available within the larger Citation Manager box at the bottom of each results page.

When using the Direct Export format in the Citation Manager, OVID sends the results to your browser as the "application/x-bibliographic" MIME type.  It is possible in all recent versions of Explorer, Navigator and Opera web browsers to associate this MIME type with your bibliographic citation software (ie. instruct the browser to launch your Endnote, Reference Manager or Procite software when it encounters files encoded with the "application/x-bibliographic" MIME type).  By doing this, when you hit SAVE with the Direct Export format your search results will download directly into EndNote, Reference Manager or Procite.

The export format is compatible with EndNote 4, Procite 3, 4 or 5 and Reference Manager 7, 8 or 9.
