You can search online library catalogues and some databases through EndNote Online.
Click on Collect - Online Search. The first time you do this you need to click on Select favorites.

Subscription databases like ABI Inform are not available via this method. Access to Web of Science off campus is only available via the VPN.
Select the connection required from the drop down Select... list which displays your Favorites and click Connect.
