漫游數據庫簡介
EndNote 在 Word 中插入文獻都是保存為域代碼的形式。域代碼中包含文獻的大多數據信息，也包含漫游數據庫中引用的文獻。
當利用 EndNote 第一次格式化引文時，EndNote 會查找本地數據庫的相應的文獻。如果再次格式化文獻，同樣 EndNote 也會在本地數據庫中查找相應的文獻，但是如果本地數據庫不可用或者打不開，EndNote 會使用漫游數據庫中的信息。
漫游數據庫一般包含文獻除了注釋，摘要和圖表之外所有信息，因此可以利用漫游數據庫和同事分享文章，這樣同事就不需要打開相應的數據庫就可以查看文件。換句話說，如果沒有漫游數據庫，在其他電腦上打開文章，可能會出現錯誤，EndNote 找不引文和參考文獻。
漫游數據庫只是針對格式化的引文才起作用，如果是未格式化引文，需要本地數據庫的支持才能格式化文章。
導出漫游數據庫
有時候我們需要導出漫游數據庫，導出漫游數據庫的方法如下。
1. 打開 Word 文件
2. 在 Word 的 EndNote 工具欄，依次打開 Export to Endnote >> Export Traveling Library；
或者在 EndNote 中依次打開 Tools >> Cite While You Write >> Import Traveling Library。注意第二種方法前提是要利用 EndNote 要先格式化一下文章才可以。
3. 在新的對話框中可以選擇
- An existing EndNote library：導入到一個現有的數據庫中
- A new EndNote library：導出文獻為一個新的數據庫
漫游數據庫用處
漫游數據庫的用處可以分為兩種，最重要的是保留了文獻的大多數據信息，這樣在其他電腦上不用打開 EndNote 數據庫就可以查看引文和參考文獻。
漫游數據庫另外一個重要用處是可以分享引文和參考文獻。比如現在別人要檢查我的文章，要求把參考的文獻進行單獨提交，此時可以利用導出漫游數據庫的功能，把該文章所有引用的文獻導出為一個新的數據庫，提交給別人。
注意此時導出時選擇「A new EndNote library」。

The traveling library
Working on a document using the Traveling Library
Formatted citations in a document include invisible field codes needed to form the in-text citation and corresponding reference entry. In the document these codes collectively form the document’s “Traveling Library”. The Travelling Library is a tool for author collaboration.
An author can send a collaborator a copy of a document which contains formatted citations from their library. The collaborating author can work on the document and add citations from their own library, and the reference list will update accordingly. Neither author requires access to each other’s library, as the document’s Traveling Library contains all the necessary information.
The document citations must remain formatted, as unformatting them will delete the field codes.
It is highly recommended that you should only collaborate on a document if you are familiar with EndNote and how it works with Word.
One collaborator should be responsible for creating the final document and reference list. They should add the traveling library to their existing library, as explained below. The document can then be safely unformatted if necessary.
Important:
- Each time a document is to be shared make sure that a back up copy is created prior to sharing.
- Before cutting and pasting text within a document that contains formatted citations, click Convert to Unformatted Citations (in the Convert Citations and Bibliography menu). This will help avoid corruption of the document. To reformat the document, click Update Citations and Bibliography.
Adding a Traveling Library to your own library
Sometimes you may want to add traveling library references from a collaborator’s document to your own EndNote library. For example, you may want to use these references in another document.
In the Word EndNote toolbar, click Export to EndNote > Export to Traveling Library, and choose a new or existing target library. Each record will be assigned a new record number- In the document click Update Citations and Bibliography to incorporate these changes.
===========================
1保證要用的library打開，且來所有被引源用的參考文獻百均存在
2 在word里EndNote選項度→Biliography→Convert to Unformatted Citations
3 Update Citations and Bibliographies
即可把travelling library的文獻轉換為從打道開的library里引用
===========================
How did we solve this one?
Well, first we had to break free of the travelling library. We did this by placing our cursor at the top of the first page of the document. We then moved the "ENDNOTE X3" tab of Word 2007. We clicked on "Convert Citations and Bibliographies" (on the "Bibliography" section of the tab) which produces a drop down menu. From the drop down menu, we chose "Convert to Unformatted Citations." This turns all the citations into the temporary Endnote references.
THEN we made sure the corresponding Endnote library was open and active.
THEN we made sure the correct output style was selected.
THEN we chose "Update Citations and Bibliographies" (on the "Bibliography" section of the tab).
Voila!
===========================
The take away message:
If you are working on a document, always have your Endnote library open.
Let Endnote work for you. Based on the output style you select, it will handle the issue of that prolific author whose multiple works you want to cite.
