EndNote: Direct Export with Safari or Internet Explorer for the Mac

There are known problems using Direct Export with Internet Explorer and current Safari browsers on a Mac OSX system. In most cases, instead of importing directly into EndNote, it will instead save a file onto the desktop. This is due to the way these browsers handle MIME types; they interfere with the ability to directly export from certain websites into EndNote.

Try accessing the website and exporting using a Mozilla based browser instead (see http://www.firefox.com/). Mozilla based browsers like Firefox allow you to specify how to handle the data when you initiate a direct export, permitting you to select the EndNote application.
