The ACM Digital library platform requires the two step process of exporting the citation and then importing them. Unless you create an ACM account and save your citations to a 'binder' you will need to export/import citations one at a time.
Exporting from ACM Digital Library:
- Go to the full record for the citation you want to import.
- On the right side of the screen, under the article information, click on the quotation mark to display export options.
- Select "Endnote" from the drop down menu and click the blue download arrow at the bottom of the window
Your browser will download a file whose file name consists of a number plus .enw. Import into endnote web as shown below.
Importing to MyEndnoteWeb:
- Login to endnoteweb
- Click on the Collect tab
- Click on "Import New References"
- Next to File, Click on the "Choose File" button and find the xxxxxxxx.enw file you downloaded (look in F:\My Documents\Downloads)
- Next to "Import Option," choose Endnote
- next to To: select the folder you want to put the files in.
- Click Import
