Day 3 – Importing references from the Library catalogue

Most library search tools offer you the chance to transfer resource information in to RefWorks.  This means you often won’t have to enter records manually (although you can still do so if you prefer).  It is a good idea to log in to your RefWorks account before exporting records to it.

If you wish to keep the library catalogue window open then right click on ‘RefWorks’ and select ‘Open link in new tab’.  If you are asked which version of RefWorks you would like to export to then select ‘Export to new RefWorks’.
