Note - An AUTHOR FIELD search from within EndNote may only find records where the name is the FIRST author listed. If a book has more than one author, and your author is not the first name listed, records with that specific author may not be found.  To rectify this, do an ANY FIELD search to be sure you are catching all occurrences of an author’s name
