Importing into RefWorks from Diamond

I was asked about importing from Diamond, our library catalog, to RefWorks. It can be a little tricky, so I offer a few abbreviated steps:

1) When you're ready to export the records from Diamond, you should select "End-Note/RefWorks" as the format from the list at the left.

2) On the right select "Local Disk."

3) Click "Submit" and save the file to an easily accessible location.

4) Log-in to RefWorks.

5) From the "References" menu at the left of the RefWorks menu bar, select "Import".

6) Select "EndNote View" as the "Import Filter/Data Source" and the "Database".

7) If you want all the imported references to go into a specific folder you can select it next under "Import References into."

8) Under "Import Data from the Following Text File" click on "Browse" and then find the file you just exported (probably called "export.txt") and click "OK".

9) Click "Import" at the bottom.

10) Your records should then be imported. You can view them by clicking on the "Recently Imported" folder link.

If you have any question, ask.
