The extent to which you can automate the process of putting these references
into EndNote depends on how your bibliography is structured. If it is in
labelled fields, e.g.

    Author: Sam Smith
    Title: Life history of the Aardvark
    Imprint: Penguin, 1990

then it is very straightforward - if you're using a PC you could use a copy of
our utility (bcu102.exe cdservera.blpes.lse.ac.uk) to convert to Refer format
then import that. If it is in some kind of citation format, e.g.

    Smith, Sam, Life history of the Aardvark, Penguin, 1990

then it is rather difficult and will require a lot of copying and pasting.
