Another way to import references from the library catalogue

That method is convenient if you're on the library catalogue, but you usually end up with year and place of publication missing from your reference. I would like to suggest another method:

1. Login into Refworks.

2. On the Refworks toolbar at the top, go to Search > ‘Online Catalog or Database’.

2. Select ‘University of Bedfordshire’ from the drop down menu of different catalogues.

3. Search for the desired title using author or title – don’t use the keyword search option. If you are unable to find it then try going to the library catalogue, getting the exact title and searching for that.

4. Tick the box next to your title and click on ‘import’.

How do I import records from the library catalogue?

1. When you find a catalogue record for the book you wish to add to RefWorks , click Save.
2. Click on View Saved, then Export Saved.
3. Select End-Note > RefWorks from the list of formats, then Save to local disk and Submit.
4. Open the text file in Notepad (or similar program).
5. Log in to RefWorks.
6. Select References/Import from the toolbar.
7. Select Innovative Interfaces Format as the data source and. Choose any database from the list – University of Bedfordshire isn’t there, but you must choose one.
8. Copy and paste the contents of the text file into the Import Data from the following Text box.
9. Click Import and your records should appear in the Last Imported References folder.
