My colleague created a RefWorks database, and Id like to import some of those citations into my RefWorks account. How can I do this?
A. An easy way to do this is to use the RefShare feature. • Ask your colleague to put all the references they wish to share into a folder — perhaps labeled “Shared with Mary” • Then they need to “share” that folder: Folders / Share; Click on Share Folder. • In the Share Folder Options, they should be sure that “allow export” is selected (is it, by default) and select whatever other options they wish, including adding a title and comments. SAVE. • They can now click on “E-mail the URL”, and send the URL of the shared folder to you. • The URL will lead you to RefShare, a slimmed down version of RefWorks that has just the citations in the Shared folder. • Elect to “Use All in List” References • Click on the “Export” button. • Elect to “Export directly to your RefWorks account”. If you already have logged into your RefWorks account, the citations will automatically exported to it and will show up in your Last Imported Folder. (If you don’t already have RefWorks open, you will be prompted
