Endnote Basic: COLLECT: Add Citations from Databases or Web Pages

Note:  In some of the tutorials EndNote Basic is called EndNote Web, which is the former name.

Drag "Capture Reference" to your Bookmarks,

then when at a web page, just click on the "Capture Reference" bookmark.

Direct Export works in most of the Libraries' subscription databases and in Google Scholar.

To use "Direct Export":

1. Go to the database via Library Home page  at https://www.lib.purdue.edu/find/databases and select database
2. Perform search
3. Select references 
4. Export references to EndNote Basic

Although the steps are same, the "Direct Export" feature varies for each database Vendor.  See chart below.  

In most databases you can select multiple references and export them together.  In Google Scholar each reference is exported individually.  See Video on setting up Google Scholar to export to EndNote Basic.
