Hi John. Thank you for your note. I did get input from others as well. This is a sample of others discussing/discouraging this practice:

Again, thanks !

Subject: Searching EBSCO databases from within EndNote
Hi Paul –
Searching from EndNote is helpful if you are looking for a known citation, but otherwise you lose the ability to use database tools like subject headings, truncation, adjacency, and I don't think the convenience makes up for that loss.
If searching from inside Endnote has improved since the last time I tried it, please let me know.

I see in my second note above that I was typing too fast...and ended up typing about searching from "within PsycInfo". Sigh....as you maybe guessed...I meant searching PsycInfo as a database accessed from within EndNote. Can anyone comment on this approach to searching PsycInfo ?

Apologies for incomplete note. I do think that searching APA's PsycInfo is a good idea :-). Just not sure about doing that from within PsycInfo. Also, I was not sure of ID and PW to use in the "Remote Password" window that opens as I am searching within EndNote.

Subject: Searching EBSCO databases from within EndNote
Hi all. I have a faculty member who is asking about searching EBSCO databases from within EndNote. We can search our catalog (KentLINK) from within the EndNote software, but (as many of you may know), clicking on an EBSCO database from within EndNote presents me with a "Remote Password" window that asks for User ID, Password, and Group ID.
I am not sure that searching databases (e.g., EBSCO's APA PsycInfo) is a good approach to search.
But I wanted to ask the list for any insights, comments, or recommendations about this use of EndNote.
Thank you for any ideas that you can share !
