Some database products don't have a direct export-to-EndnoteWeb option. For them, you will need to Export a list of your citations and Import them into Endnote web. If you use the Mozilla Toolbar for Endnote Web, the process skips a few steps.

As an example, the Proquest platform requires the two step process. Among the databases on the Proquest Platform are Proquest Research Library, Disserations and Abstracts..Summon is currently one of those databases.
