About List Formats

The following record formats are available:

• Full Display - This includes the complete record with locations & call numbers.
• Brief Display - Author, title, and publisher. ***It does not give the call numbers or locations.
• Pro-Cite - Delivers the citations in a format that can be imported into Pro-Cite, a computer program that manages bibliographic citations. Please note that the Pro-Cite format does not include locations or call numbers.
• EndNote - EndNote is another bibliographic management program. EndNote is keyserved on the Public File Server for Macintosh and Windows computers. It is recommended that you do not import records from the Library Catalog into EndNote - it works much better if you search the catalog with EndNote using a connection file.
